“Christmas is a season of love, peace and compassion, which we use in commemorating the birth of Christ and which the Christians celebrate annually.
“I charge Christians and other residents of Igbogbo, Ikorodu Division and Nigerians in general, to emulate the Christ and hold dear the tenets of the celebration.
“It is also important that as we celebrate, we should remember those that cannot because of one challenge or the other; extend our love and affections to them and make them too feel the atmosphere of the season”.
Adeboruwa also asked residents to use the period to pray for leaders in Igbogbo community, Ikorodu Division, Lagos State and Nigeria at large.
He urged them to celebrate peacefully, and adhere strictly to environmental and security regulations as issued by the government, to make the season safer for all.
