A member of the House of Representatives from Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency, Oyo State, Shina Peller, has felicitated with Christians on the occasion of Christmas celebration.

Mr. Peller’s felicitating message was contained in a statement issued on Friday 25th December 2020 by his Media Office, and signed by his Press Secretary, Kola Popoola.

The federal legislator also enjoined Christians and all to emulate Jesus Christ’s good virtues.

“I felicitate with all Christians on the occasion of 2020 Christmas celebration, which commemorates the birth of the noble Prophet of God, Jesus Christ, otherwise referred to as Prophet Isa (Peace be unto him) by Muslims.

“Indeed, Christmas presents to us an opportunity to reflect deeply on the life of Jesus Christ with a view to learning from his virtues, humility, tolerance, total submission to the will of God, courageous and uncommon sacrificial acts to humanity.

“Throughout his lifetime, Jesus Christ preached peace, love, humility, forgiveness, tolerance, endurance, and he was a perfect example of all that is good. So, as we celebrate Christmas, we should endeavour to be true followers of Jesus Christ by adhering to his teachings and emulating all the good things that he stood for.

“Importantly, as we wine and dine in celebration of Christmas, we should remember that the battle against the killer disease, COVID-19, hasn’t been won yet, hence we should adhere to all the laid down precautionary guidelines against it.

“Once again, I wish everyone of us Merry Christmas.”
