Mr. Wadada asked the people of Nasarawa to rededicate themselves to the service of humanity in accordance with the true teachings of Jesus Christ, which emphasize tolerance, patience, brotherly kindness, caring for the needy and mutual love.
The holiday season presents us once again with the opportunity to love, share and forgive. I urge all the people of the Nasarawa Western Senate District, especially the youth, to take advantage of the period to pray for the unity, peace and prosperity of the nation.
“We must also rededicate ourselves to the true virtues of faith in God, mutual love, honesty, and peaceful coexistence. It is time to make these virtues more evident and practical in our daily lives ”.
Christmas is a time to show love to each other because it is an act of kindness towards humanity. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, ”Wadada said.

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Yakubu Daniel expressed his gratitude to Wadada for his kind gesture.
Mr. Daniel commended Wadada for his continued support of the underprivileged in the areas of health, education and empowerment.
“Actually, I don’t know how to express our joy at this gesture, especially coming in these difficult times.
“Most of us were thinking about how to get something to cook for our children and loved ones on Christmas Day, then they called us to go collect rice from Wadada.
May the Lord replenish your pocket and your bill millions of times. He is our savior in the Nasarawa Western Senate District, ”said Daniel.
Nigeria’s NAN news agency reports that Mr. Wadada also handed out cash gifts to other underprivileged people who came to him for help or other.
