Fayemi urges prayers for Nigeria at Christmas
THE Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr.  Kayode Fayemi, has congratulated Christians for witnessing Christmas. He urged them to work and pray for peace, as well as live peacefully with one another and others.
Fayemi advised Nigerians to pray to God to bless the efforts of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration in ensuring development for the country.
He said: “Christmas is a season to give and expect little in return; a time to preach peace and love; a time to forgive, live in harmony and seek the face of the King of Kings.”
The minister, in his Christmas goodwill message signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Olayinka Oyebode, said God used the birth of Jesus Christ to demonstrate His love for mankind.
Fayemi said being alive to witness another Christmas should be seen as a privilege, considering the situation across the world. This, he said, called for celebration.

The minister, however, advised Christians to celebrate in moderation and to devote time to appreciate God for His mercies and to reflect on the country, with a view to seeking God’s intervention.
Noting that Jesus Christ lived up to his name as the “Prince of Peace”, he enjoined Nigerians, irrespective of religion, to toe the line of peace.
Fayemi enjoined Christians to emulate Jesus Christ in word and deed, saying: “God has used Christmas to teach us the lessons of humility and that He has the power to do all things.”
