As Christians across the World mark the birth of Jesus Christ, the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has called on Deltans, particularly Christians, to use the occasion to rededicate themselves to the teachings of Christ, which focus on oneness, unity and love for one another.
Senator Okowa, who is the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governorship candidate for Delta State, noted that, "it is only when we continue to manifest the virtues of unfeign humility, genuine love and sacrifice that we can truly lay claim to being true followers of Jesus Christ, whose teachings centre on love for one another."
He advised Christians against seeing Christmas celebration as mere ritual, but to see the occasion as time for deep sober reflection that should be used to reappraise their relationship with the Almighty God and their fellow human beings.
Senator Okowa, whose message was contained in a statement by his media aide, Jonathan Onwuka, while felicitating with Deltans, called on them to remain peaceful and committed to the development of the state, urging them to, " use the occasion to reflect deeply on those things that unite us and work toward strengthening them."
He also urged them to remain focus in the pursuit of a better and prosperous Delta State, where all citizens are partakers of the benefit of good governance.
Senator Okowa who reaffirmed his commitment to uplift the lives of the people, said the PDP will continue to develop Delta State for the benefit of mankind in line with the achievements recorded by previous administrations.
He enjoin Deltans to pray for a peaceful elections in 2015, saying 2015 will mark the beginning of greater things for the state and its people.
