While calling for continued perseverance, he assured the people that they would soon begin to see the benefits of the bold and audacious reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration very soon.

"As a government, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering responsiveness.We are committed to ensuring responsiveness. We remain steadfast in inclusiveness where everyone strives. We will implement different programmes to ease the economic challenges and other difficulties our people are going through.

"Inclusiveness, to me, means that we will ensure that you have a voice. That is why you see us having Town Hall meetings, and that is why you see us when we are making decisions that concern you, like which road we should construct in your local government.

"I tell my commissioners to consult your House of Assembly members, local government chairmen, CAN, League of Imams, and traditional rulers so that our decisions can be wholesome. This is what inclusiveness means," he said.

Speaking on the significance of Christmas, Governor Abiodun emphasized that it is a season of love, fellowship, and gratitude as it transcends differences as it provides the universal values of compassion, kindness, and faith, calling on the people of the state to prioritize the tangible gift of life over material gifts.

"Let us embrace the lessons of Christmas. As we move into the new year, let the power of kindness, the strength of community, and the hope of a better tomorrow continue to envelop us," he added.

In his sermon titled "Joy to the World," the Vicar of the Church, Venerable Shadrach Ajileye said the birth of Jesus apart from bringing salvation to mankind, also brought good news, hope of eternal life, redemption, joy and happiness.

His birth, the Venerable noted, is God's highest gift to mankind, emphasizing the need for Christians to live in peace with all manner of people and extend the hands of fellowship to all at this festive period.

He lauded the governor for constructing the Sagamu-Iperu-Saapade road and the level of development that he has brought to the State, encouraging him to continue to lead with the fear of God and avoid distractions so as to end his administration gloriously.

2024 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM SENATOR SOLOMON OLAMILEKAN ADEOLA

Dear Constituents,

Christmas represents the celebration of the birth of a new dawn for the salvation of souls for all humanity, especially for the Christians. With the birth of Jesus Christ, mankind have a hope for a better future and salvation of souls for eternity.

I want to urge all Christian faithfuls not to use the occasion of 2024 Christmas celebration for merry-making only but use it as a period of sober reflection and supplication to God Almighty for a better, peaceful and prosperous future. The needed reforms for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has started yielding some positive results in the gradual strengthening of the Naira as well as incipient downward movement of price of petrol. I urge all Nigerians to see the season as another opportunity for fervent prayers for a new dawn and prosperous future for individuals and the Nigeria nation.

I urge all Nigerians to look forward to a better future of renewed hope with abiding faith in Jesus Christ. All our challenges will be a thing of the past with restoration of desired economic growth, peace, security and poverty reduction.
