While felicitating with Christians and all Nigerians at home and abroad, Aregbesola enjoined all Christians to live “within the virtues and teachings of Jesus Christ, which hinged on compassion, patience, peace, humility, righteousness and love for one another.”
He said,
“Those those virtues would guarantee an atmosphere of peace and security in the country.”
Aregbesola stated that the determination of the Federal Government towards ensuring an atmosphere of peace and security would attract Foreign Direct Investment.
