Akinlade, a three-time federal lawmaker said: “Christmas signifies hope and salvation brought to the world in need of redemption. The world would be a better place if the values and virtues reflected by the holy birth of Christ, especially love for one another were practiced faithfully.

“The central message of Jesus Christ is love, therefore we should eschew violence and desist from any action or utterances that can cause chaos and confusion or outright breakdown of law and order in our state.
