Pray for successful elections in 2023, Sen.Adeola tells Nigerians

Sen. Olamilekan Adeola (APC-Lagos) has urged Christians and Nigerians in particular, not to use the occasion of Christmas celebration for merry making only but also use it to pray for the success of the 2023 general elections.
In a Christmas message to his constituents and Nigerians on Saturday, Adeola said citizens should use the period for sober reflection and supplication to God, for a better and prosperous future.
Adeola, Chairman, Senate Committee on Finance, said Christmas symbolised a new dawn for humanity and hope for mankind, adding it was a perfect period for Christians to renew their faith in Jesus Christ.
“I want to urge all Christian faithful not to use the occasion of 2022 Christmas celebration for merry-making only but use it as a period of reflection and supplication to God Almighty for a better, peaceful and prosperous future.
“With this year’s celebration coming weeks to crucial national and states’ elections, I urge all Nigerians to see the season as another opportunity for fervent prayers for a new dawn and prosperous future.”
While acknowledging that citizens were going through a difficult period, occasioned by socio-economic challenges caused by local factors and downturn in the global economy, Adeola urged Nigerians to be patient and look forward to a better future.
The senator added that with abiding faith in Jesus Christ, the country’s challenges would be a thing of the past and the dream of a great Nigeria would be realised.
