Christmas Represents Values That Unite Us As A People – Monday Okpebholo

Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo has come out to say that Christmas represents the values that unite us as a people.

He recently had his say while delivering his message at the Edo Christmas Carol, 2024, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, regardless of tribe, religion and politics, Christmas is a season of love and hope because it reminds everyone of the importance of compassion, generosity and peace.

He added that the carol event is more than just singing as it represents the values that bring Edo people together.

His words, “It is with great joy that I welcome all of you to this beautiful Christmas Carol as we gather to celebrate our Lord Jesus Christ. It is particularly memorable for me because this is the first time I have had the honour of standing before you as Governor during such an event.

Christmas is a time of love, hope, and unity. It is also a season that reminds us of the importance of compassion, generosity and peace. This carol symbolises much more than singing and entertainment; it is a testament to the values that bind us as one people, regardless of tribe, religion and political differences. As we listen to the wonderful voices tonight, let us remember that our strength as a people lies in our diversity.

To our children, may the joy of tonight inspire you to dream big and grow with love and kindness in your hearts. Together, we can build a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow. On behalf of the entire leadership of our beloved State, I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.”
