A former governor of Ondo State and the candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) for the Ondo Central Senatorial district in the 2019 elections, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has rejoiced with Christians and all Nigerians on the celebration of this year’s Christmas.
He also urged Nigerians of all backgrounds to celebrate peacefully,adding that they should see the Christmas as another opportunity to seek God for peace and peaceful co-existence in the country.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, John Paul Akinduro, Mimiko called on Nigerians of diverse faith to show more love towards one and another, “as we celebrate yet another season of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, I call on all to make good use of the season to show love to the needy in the society and pray for our dear nation as we approach the 2019 general elections,” he said.
The ZLP senatorial candidate, who said no religion preaches voter apathy, urged the people of Ondo Central Senatorial district and Nigerians not to allow their religious belief hinder them from actively participating as voters in the 2019 elections, warning that failure by believers of all faith to exercise their civic rights may spell doom for the progress of the nation.
