The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, urged residents of the FCT to rededicate themselves to God and keep to his commandments, in the spirit of the Christmas season.
In a Christmas message signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Olalere Olayinka, the minister again sympathised with families of the stampede victims, while urging Christians to obey God’s commandments.
“I congratulate all residents of the Federal Capital Territory for the grace of celebrating another Christmas. It is my prayer that the good Lord who made this possible will ensure that we all celebrate many more Christmas in good health.
“Christians, in particular, should continue to be obedient to the commandments of God as done by Jesus Christ, because He made it very clear that those who follow Him and aspire to His Kingdom have a perpetual obligation to obey and uphold God’s law.
“Once again, I also sympathise with families of victims of the recent stampedes in Abuja. I pray that God in His infinite mercies will grant them fortitude to bear the irreparable loss”, the statement partly read.
Wike also encouraged residents to be hopeful stating that “With the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, things will keep getting better.”
