The All Progressive Congress candidate for Bende Federal Constituency in next year’s general election, Barrister Benjamin Kalu has felicitated with Christians as they celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
In a statement made available to Igbere TV, BenKalu said Christmas is period to spread love, which Jesus Christ brought to the world and also a moment to broaden the horizon of selflessness and service to humanity.
The statement reads in full,
“MERRY CHRISTMAS MY BELOVED BENDE CONSTITUENTS”
“On behalf of myself and my entire family, I felicitate with the good people Bende Federal Constituency, Abians and Nigerians in general at this yuletide commemorating the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
“This is a period to spread love, which our Saviour brought to the world. It is a moment to broaden the horizon of selflessness and service to humanity. A time to re-examine our relationship with our Creator.”
“It goes without any doubt to say that our people have suffered untold economic depravity, denial and negligence which has manifestly left them with a dehumanising and debasing living standard.”
“It is also on record that many families among us will have a very bleak Christmas celebration on the account of the hardship that has been foisted on them for a very long time as a result of leadership starved of vision.”
“The night is far spent, the morning is nearer. My roadmap for offering you a record-breaking representation has adequately captured all strata of people and demographic bracket. In no distant future, we shall all collectively celebrate a new Bende where we will have a feel of our citizenship as Nigerians.”
“While assuring you that this will be the last bleak Christmas celebration in Bende, I must thank you for your unflinching support and confidence in the Benjamin Kalu agenda for a new Bende.”
“Once again, merry Christmas and happy new year in advance.”
