As Christians around the world celebrate Christmas, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has congratulated adherents of the faith and urged them to use the season to renew their faith in purposeful leadership and remain committed to national progress.
Obasa called on citizens to draw inspiration from the birth of Jesus Christ, which he said symbolises hope, humility and sacrifice—values capable of guiding the nation toward unity and prosperity.
In a Christmas message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dave Agboola, the Speaker described the season as a period of reflection and a reaffirmation of trust in the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he said is determined to improve the fortunes of Nigerians through visionary policies.
“Christmas is more than a festive occasion; it is a profound reminder of hope and faith. As we celebrate, let us keep faith alive in the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is poised to turn the fortunes of Nigerians around through purposeful leadership,” Obasa said.
He urged Christians across the country and in the diaspora to remain united and optimistic, noting that the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda requires collective support and patience to deliver lasting benefits.
“As we exchange gifts and share joy, let us renew our commitment to peace, mutual respect and progress. Together, we can build a Lagos and a Nigeria that reflect the aspirations of every citizen,” he added.
The Speaker concluded by wishing Lagosians and Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2026, while praying for peace and abundant blessings in the year ahead.
