The Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Right Honourable Somtochukwu Udeze, has said that the understanding of the reason for Christ’s birth and His salvation power by Christians is greater and more important than the merriment associated with the season.

In his Christmas message, Right Honourable Udeze, who was full of gratitude to God for giving people the grace of participating in this year’s Christmas celebration, enjoined Christians to exhibit love for one another, which he said is both the commandment and Christian virtue.

The Speaker called on politicians and affluent citizens to use part of their wealth to touch people’s lives positively, adding that through their spread of love and kindness to those around them, the gospel of Jesus Christ would have been made practical.

He charged Ndi Anambra to continue to pray for the present administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, which he said has done well in transforming all sectors of the state economy, and join hands in furthering peace, unity, development and maximum security in the State.
