Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, has called on the people of the state to shun greed, corruption, and oppression of the poor during the festive season.

In his Christmas message on Monday, Sani felicitated with the Christian faithful and prayed for peace and love in the country.

He said restoration and hope are the two crucial blessings of Christmas, adding that his administration is committed to restoring the confidence of the people in the government.

He asked residents to take advantage of the festive season to spread peace and kindness and give charity to all without discrimination.

“Merry Christmas to our Christian brothers and sisters. May the love, joy and peace that Christmas heralds be yours this season and always. I share with you in the joy and blessings of the birth of Jesus Christ,” he said.

“As you reflect on his exemplary life, let’s emulate his legacy of justice, love, forgiveness, peace, compassion and care for the downtrodden.

“I urge you to live by the virtues of Jesus and shun greed, corruption, oppression of the poor and all vices that exacerbate life’s challenges.

“In my Christmas message before the 2023 general elections, I made a passionate appeal to the good people of Kaduna State to give me their mandate.

“I made a commitment to move Kaduna State forward. You trusted me and mandated me to take our dear state to a higher level.

“Since my assumption of office on May 29, 2023, our administration has been working tirelessly to deliver good governance and benefits of democracy.

“The state is working in tandem with the federal government to mitigate the challenges of insecurity. Let us bear in mind that the two most important miracles of Christmas are restoration and hope.

“As a government, we won’t leave any stone unturned in the effort to heal the wounds of the past and rekindle our hope for rebirth in the new year. Keep hope alive.”

The governor urged the people to embrace the virtues of the season and commended Christian leaders for their support for the policies of government.
