Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, has extended his heartfelt Christmas wishes to Christians across the state and Nigeria, urging them to embrace love, peace, and unity as they commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. He described these virtues as the true essence of the season.

When we imbibe the true message of Christmas – love, peace, and unity – we will see no divisions but a common thread of humanity.
