Ogun State Governor, QDapo Abiodun, has praised President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, describing them as laying a strong foundation for a “new Nigeria.”
Abiodun made the remarks after reading the ninth lesson at the 2025 Christmas carol organized by the Ogun State government in Abeokuta on Monday.
He noted that the President’s initiatives have promoted economic stability and inclusive prosperity nationwide.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda has positively lifted the nation’s economy,” the governor said, urging continued support for the President.
He called on citizens to embrace unity, compassion, and shared prosperity to build a brighter future for Ogun and Nigeria.
Reflecting on the season, Abiodun said, “Christmas brings good tidings and great joy, even amid prevailing global and national challenges. The season is more than a date; it reminds us of God’s unfading love and a call to care for the needy and comfort the lonely. Worshippers should extend Christ-like love through acts of kindness, especially towards the less privileged.”
He also highlighted Ogun’s enduring reputation for religious tolerance and social harmony, advising residents to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to ensure a safe and joyous festive period.
Earlier, Pastor Tunde Bakare of Citadel Global Community Church delivered a sermon titled ‘The Best Gift Ever’, emphasizing that Jesus brought good news to humanity.
“After celebrating Christ’s birth, we must return to our schools and communities to do the things He did,” Bakare said.
The event drew notable dignitaries, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Governor Olusegun Osoba, Senator Solomon Adeola, and traditional rulers.
