The Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon.Somtochukwu Udeze, has said that the understanding of the reason for Christ's birth and His salvation power by Christians is greater and more important than the merriment associated with the season.

In his Christmas message, Udeze who was full of gratitude to God for giving people the grace of participating in this year's Christmas celebration, urged them to exhibit love for one another, which, he said, is both the commandment and Christian virtue.

He called on politicians and affluent citizens to use part of their wealth to touch people's lives positively, adding that through their spread of love and kindness to those around them, the gospel of Jesus Christ would have been made practical.

He charged Anambra people to continue to pray for the present administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, which according to him, has done well in transforming all sectors of the State's economy and join hands in furthering peace, unity, development and maximum security in the State.

Udeze, on behalf of the state legislature, felicitated with the judiciary and executive arms of government, religious bodies, political stalwarts, his constituents in Ogbaru and the entire citizenry as they celebrate Christmas and prayed for more blessings of God upon them in the coming year, 2025.
