Nigerians Should Not Forget To Be Compassionate This Christmas – Abubakar Nalaraba

The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Pilgrims Affairs, Hon Abubakar Hassan Nalaraba has come out to urge Christians in Nigeria to show love to their neighbours as they celebrate Christmas.

He recently revealed this via a statement by his media office, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, even if the Covid-19 pandemic has made it impossible for Christians to perform pilgrimage to the holy sites this year, they must not forget the lessons of compassion, courage and empathy during the festive period.

He added that Nigerians should allow love to prevail in all they do ahead of the new year.

His words, “The Christmas occasion has given Christians all over the world another opportunity to rescue the needy, feed the hungry and shelter the homeless in our society.”

“Though the Covid-19 pandemic has made it impossible for Christians to perform pilgrimage to the holy sites this year, we must not forget the lessons of compassion, courage and empathy as well as allow love to prevail in all that we do.”
