Lagos State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has charged residents to be Christ-like during the Yuletide by imbibing the virtues of obedience, meekness, sacrifice and humility some of which were identified with Jesus Christ.
Governor Sanwo-Olu gave the charge in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Gboyega Akosile, saying the best way to celebrate Christmas is to show love to one another and ensure peaceful co-existence during and after the season.
The governor enjoined all road users to obey traffic rules and observe road signs to prevent accidents, even as he encouraged all residents travelling out of Lagos with their loved ones to remain safety conscious.

The governor, while wishing everyone a safe and exciting Christmas celebration, encouraged residents and holiday-makers to visit any of the venues of the Greater Lagos Fiesta, which is part of activities lined up by the state government to entertain citizens across the five divisions of Lagos State.
This was as he assured that Lagosians would reap more dividends of the T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda in the year 2020 by witnessing new initiatives in transportation, health, housing, education and other programmes.
He, therefore, prayed for God’s guidance in the remaining days of the year and wished all residents a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year ahead.
