Ogbomoso (Oyo State) – Senator Abdulfatai Buhari has appealed to Nigerians to offer prayers for the nation`s sustainable peace and development in all fields of human endeavours.
Buhari, (APC-Oyo North) and Chairman, Senate Committee on ICT and Cybercrimes, made the appeal in his Christmas message made available to newsmen in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, on Monday.
The lawmaker, who felicitated with Christians as they celebrated Christmas, asserted that with God`s guidance the nation would soon attain greater heights in all walks of life.
“I enjoin you all to pray and support the government in its efforts at surmounting the present economic challenges in the country.
“We hope to see new developments that will make life easier and better for our people in 2017“, he said.
He urged the people not to only celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ but allow the lessons of the occasion to reflect in their lives.
“Jesus Christ is the reason for the season; we should emulate his virtues of humility, courage and love for the people,“ he said.
The lawmaker also promised people from his constituency that he would continue to justify the confidence reposed in him by them as their representatives at the upper chamber of the National Assembly ((NASS).
