Imbibe Christmas virtues, Makinde tells Nigerians

A call has gone to Christians to dwell more on the spiritual significance of Christmas, rather than the festivities associated with it.
Oyo State Social Democratic Party’s (SDP’s) governorship candidate Seyi Makinde, in a statement in Ibadan yesterday, remarked that the reason for the season is uncommon love of God for mankind, which culminated in sending to the world His only begotten son, and how to reciprocate this among the fellow beings. According to him, “as we dwell on the agape love of God for us through the birth of Jesus Christ, which we are celebrating, we should reflect also on the humble circumstances of that birth (of Christ) and pattern our lives in a way that we shall be worthy of our call as Christians.”
