In a statement personally signed by the Executive Chairman, Hon. Ogunlewe noted that members of the Kosofe society stay safe, be their brother’s keeper, while loving their neighbour as themselves.
‘Christmas is about the celebration of the birth, life, and love Jesus shared while as human, even now, as divine.
There is no greater gift and honour that one can give to Jesus Christ other than the exhibition of a forgiving spirit, display of love and promotion of absolute peace, for these are what the Lord Jesus Christ symbolises.
We all must see ourselves as equal before the almighty God who purposely created us with different cultural backgrounds, believes and religious affiliations as this will enable us achieve the much needed global harmony
I enjoin the good people of kosofe, Lagos State and Nigeria at large to rededicate themselves to the virtues of peace, love, justice, equity, piety, humility and service to others, which were the cores of the teachings and ministry of Jesus Christ.
I implore everyone to celebrate the season will all sense of moderation, I pray for journey mercies to those travelling to and from various destinations.
I wish all Christian faithfuls, a Merry Christmas and a Rewarding New Year in advance.
