Lawan said beyond the great merriment and thanksgiving joy that have come to be associated with the season, Christmas reminds mankind of the humble birth, simple life, teachings and sacrificial love of Jesus Christ.
A statement signed by the media adviser to the Senate President, Ola Awoniyi, quoted Lawan as saying that this is the reason why the season is for practical demontration of love and universal goodwill through giving to the needy and sharing with neighbours. However, as they celebrate Christmas and Boxing Day, Lawan urged Nigerians to engage only in activities that enhance peace and harmony in their immediate environment and beyond, in the true spirit of the season.“Jesus Christ embodies selfless love, self-sacrifice, justice and peace, all of which virtues our country needs more than ever before as it marches through big challenges to sustain its democracy and development.
“Therefore, I enjoin us all to reflect on the significance of the season and recommit to these virtues for the benefit of our dear country Nigeria and mankind in general. “Let us all continue to pray for peace in Nigeria and engage only in things that will make Nigeria the great country that we desire it to be.
