Osi Basorun of Ibadanland, Dr. Azeez Adeduntan has called on Christians to exhibit love and promote peaceful coexistence among adherents of other religions.

He urged Nigerians
to forge a binding national consensus to put the progress and well-being of the country above all other considerations, so that no height of human accomplishment will be beyond the nation.
“I join our Christian compatriots and all other Nigerians in giving thanks to God Almighty, whose Grace and benevolence has helped our nation to overcome many challenges it has had since we celebrated Christmas last year.
‘The annual commemoration of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ is a most auspicious time for us, as
individuals and as a nation, to rededicate ourselves to the virtues and ideals which the Messiah preached and exemplified during his earthly ministry’ .
‘Let us all therefore resolve this Christmas to make the ideals of peace, harmony, tolerance, love and goodwill to all even more manifest in our interactions with others’.
