The Candidate of the Social Democratic Party for Osogbo, Olorunda, Irepodun, and Orolu Federal Constituency, Prince Bolaji Oyekanmi Matanmi (PBO) has rejoiced with Christians in the Federal Constituency, Osun State, and the Governor of the State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on the occasion of the celebration of life birth of Jesus Christ.
In a release made available to the Newsmen in Osogbo, the state Capital today, by his media office, Prince Oyekanmi reminds Christians that Christmas symbolizes humility as Jesus was born in a lowly place.
"As we celebrate, We shouldn't forget that the birth of Jesus Christ is more of sober reflection than of outright merry-making as the celebrant chose to come to the world in a manger and not a princely place. Therefore, we have to celebrate in moderation,'' Oyekanmi said.
Oyekanmi goes further that celebration of the birth of Christ should accommodate giving and sharing as Jesus is believed to have given his life for the salvation of man according to the Christian faith.
Prince Oyekanmi also urges people generally to learn to live in harmony not minding their religious differences.
"the season of Christmas exemplifies the virtues of love and peaceful co-existence. We must continue to extend the hand of love, and benevolence and live as one family irrespective of our Creed or color
"We must also continue to respect each other's right to live freely and peacefully.
The period of Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the symbol of Christianity and the Harbinger of peace, love, and good tidings." He said.
