Fellow Citizens of Rivers State,
I warmly join you in celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. On this sacred day, we honour the Prince of Peace, whose life remains the eternal model of love, humility, sacrifice and compassion. I congratulate each and every one of you for witnessing this beautiful season of hope, renewal, and thanksgiving.
Christmas stands as a profound expression of God’s boundless love and His gift of peace to humanity. I urge us all to reflect deeply on these enduring values and allow them to guide our conduct towards one another. Regardless of our individual faiths, let us uphold religious tolerance and recommit ourselves to the noble responsibility of being our brother’s keeper, even amid the socio-economic challenges of our time.
Our collective progress is anchored on unity and harmony. I remain steadfast in my commitment to the Rivers First agenda, driven by peace and dedicated to inclusive development. Only in a united and stable Rivers State can we build the infrastructure, strengthen the economy, and secure the prosperous future that every citizen deserves.
Let us therefore replace discord with dialogue and choose understanding over division. I also urge all residents to remain security-conscious, as safeguarding our state is a shared responsibility that begins with vigilance, cooperation, mutual respect and support.
As you celebrate this season, may your homes be filled with joy and your hearts overflow with love that transcends ethnic and religious boundaries. I wish you a peaceful and harmonious Christmas, and a smooth transition into a prosperous 2026 filled with purpose, progress, and breakthroughs.
Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS
