The House of Representatives member representing AMAC/Bwari federal constituency, Hon. Micah Jiba, has called on the people of his constituents to seize the opportunity of Christmas and New year celebrations to re-dedicate themselves to attaining peace and love in the territory.
Jiba made this call while interacting with newsmen at his resident in Abuja, saying that the Christmas period is of great importance marking celebration of the victory of Jesus Christ at birth.
The member urged Christian faithful to remain unrelenting in living exemplary life style of Jesus Christ during and after the celebration especially in the work of charity, love and giving generously to those in need in their community.
”I wish to quote from the book of Mathew 25:35 which say “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me, any time you give to the needy you have given to Jesus Christ and that is the reason for the season.
“This period calls for dedication to duty, and considering the interests of others before our personal gains, as Jesus Christ taught us by sacrificing His life for all” he said.
He further advised residents to be security cautious and report any suspicious activity around their communities to the relevant security agencies, “as I have always said I will continue to work on bills in the interest of my constituents and the FCT in general.”
