Adams in his address at the Carol stressed that the event is not a mere jamboree but an opportunity to reflect on the way forward.
Adams said the Carol event is an avenue to appreciate God for the gift of life despite all the challenges the year has brought.
He said: “Despite the global health challenges God still count us worthy to be alive, thought this year has been a very tough and turbulence one, but we must give praise to God for his love over us that we are still living.
“I want to assure that the coming year will be of abundant rewards. All that we have lost through COVID-19 will be given to us back in abundance. That is my belief and assurances, it is a prayer and that is what I foresee,”Adams said.
Adams however, called on Christians to uphold the spirit of the season in extending love.
He said: “Christmas is here and I think we have to learn the lessons of the season. It is our duty to share this great moment of joy and uphold the spirit of the season.
As Christians it is our duties to show love and compassion for others, especially the poor. Jesus Christ came to this world, made the greatest sacrifice with His death for us to live and share the glory of God.”
Adams, condemned the culture of increment in prices of goods and consumable items during festive periods in Nigeria, while calling on the federal government to spread joy by providing necessary facilities to ameliorate hardship as well as providing effective security across the nation, especially around recreational centres and churches.
Viewing that border closure was a costly mistake that added to the country’s recession, he asked government to put policies in place that will encourage true federalism and better the lives of the populace.
He shared: “I will appeal to our president that such kind of mistake should not happen in our history. The rice we used to buy for less than N20, 000 is about N40, 000 and this is a country with a low manufacturing level due to lack of electricity and stable policy as well as the image we have that discourages investors.
“I am not one that is encouraging importation at the same time asking that the border should not be closed. You can make policy to prevent goods that you do not want in your country but not to close the border because it inflicts pain on the masses.”
He reinstated that the government should do the needful about moving this country forward.
He said, what is happening now is as a result of the problems we created for ourselves, noted that the country cannot move forward if we do not restructure Nigeria into regions.
