Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi has charged Christians to imbibe the eternal message of Christmas which is pinned on love and peace.

In a message to mark this year’s Christmas celebration, Umahi also urged the Christians to shun religion of convenience that celebrates wealth, pleasure and power without love and peace.

He said, ‘’We should be prepared to live like Jesus Christ to qualify eminently to answer Christians. We should be our brother’s keeper and respect legally constituted authorities so that it shall be well with us.

‘’Ebonyi is our Jerusalem and as Christians prayed for the good of Jerusalem, so we shall be praying for the good of our dear state.’’

The governor used the occasion to reiterate his determination to make the state number one in the country through the on-going aggressive infrastructural development despite dwindling allocation from the Federal Government and poor Internally Generated Revenue of the state.

‘’There shall be a renewal; a renewal in the transport system, a renewal in road construction and a renewal in the educational system.‘You will flow with the wind of massive transformation currently going on in the state,’’ Umahi added.
