The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has asked Nigerians to show great neigbourliness and shun difficulty to extend solidarity in the nation.
The governor made the call on Boxing Day, which is celebrated on December 26, every year.
He said, “On behalf of the Edo State Government, I send warm greetings and best wishes to everyone as we mark Boxing Day.”

The governor encouraged Nigerians to consider the import of sharing and broadening a hand of adoration and backing to neighbors and colleagues.
He added, “Boxing day is a good opportunity to exchange gifts with loved ones, as well as those in need; those living in orphanages, in prisons, hospitals, and in the Internally Displaced Persons’ camps in the state.”
He prayed, “that the celebration will continue to foster love and unity among us all regardless of our cultural differences, creed, faith or social class.”
“We must be reminded of the need to be good neighbours, kind to acquaintances and share gifts. That way we can successfully build a commonwealth for the benefit of everyone. May the spirit of the celebration remain with us even after the season,” he added.
