I Express solidarity with all residents of my constituency amidst the prevailing gloomy situation of the Nigerian state especially during this Yuletide.
While congratulating us all for witnessing another Christmas occasion,I however note that the harsh economic condition,high market price of foodstuff and essential commodities,widespread insecurity,salary backlogs and general hardship has no doubt made the Christmas celebration a gloomy one.
Nevertheless,I charge us all to remain hopeful and take solace in the Biblical verse of Jeremiah 29:11,which stresses that God has a plan of prosperity,safety,hope and glorious future for all believers.
Even though i have used my personal funds to purchase food items for hundreds of my constituents and also given cash tokens as a measure of support for Xmas celebration,i regret that i would have loved to do more to enable more constituents benefit,but for limited resources. Nonetheless,I admonish that all Nigerians should remain hopeful,and be in top spirits as we approach the next electoral cycle,in which all hands must be on deck to rescue Nigeria from the brink of total collapse.
May the spirit of love gently fill our hearts and homes. May we find ourselves surrounded by joy and all the good things of life that has no price.
Merry Christmas and i wish you and your family a healthy celebration.

Hon. Tomide Leonard Akinribido,
Member Representing Ondo West Constituency 1,ODHA.
