Governor, Udom Emmanuel has urged residents of Akwa Ibom to show greater love to one another as they commemorated the birth of Jesus Christ.
The Governor gave the advice in his Christmas broadcast to the people of the state in Uyo on Saturday night.
He advised Christians not to indulge in negative tendencies during the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
“As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, let us not give in to the negative impulse of anger and animosity.
“Let us conduct ourselves in ways that appeal to the better side of us and not those that appeal to our base sentiments.
“I came to this state to serve my people irrespective of their political labels and affiliations.
“I am not serving you as a Governor for PDP people. This message of love therefore is for the entire state, irrespective of political affiliations.
“Let us come together and work to unite our people around a common good and a common cause,” Emmanuel said.
He further enjoined the people to open their hearts to friends and the needy by giving alms to the poor.
