“As we mark this year’s Christmas, I want to urge Christians in the state to continue to live in peace and harmony with believers of other faith. We should emulate virtues of humility, tolerance, perseverance and compassion as exemplified by Jesus Christ, whose birth we are celebrating this season.
“Let us be our brother’s keeper by showing love and compassion to one another throughout this season”, the Governor said.
