Hushray

Dec 25, 2025

The Chairman, Nigeria Association of Christian Journalists, (NACJ), Oyo State, Lekan Shobo Shobowale has described the season as a period for sober reflection on God's faithfulness calling on Christians to celebrate Christmas by showing genuine love to all.

In his Christmas message, made available by the group spokesperson, Adeola Badru said humility, forgiveness, and genuine love for all are the essence of the Christmas

celebration.

While congratulating Christians on the Christmas celebration, the governor enjoined all residents to continue to pray for the peace and prosperity of the state and Nigeria.

Shobiwale urged Christians to “emulate the virtuous life of Jesus Christ, which embodies tolerance, love, sacrifice, peace, and forgiveness, especially during the Christmas celebrations.”

He also called for continued peaceful coexistence among all religious beliefs.
