"Those who are privileged reach out to people who are in need as much as possible. That is the only way we can show that we are Christians and that we love God."
Justice Nyesom-Wike added: "If we don't love our fellow human beings that we see, how can we love God that we don't see physically.
"Christmas is all about love. It is all about God's unfailing love. We thank God for the opportunity to celebrate Christmas."
The Wife of the Rivers State Governor had a special message  for the children.
She said: "My message to the children is that they should learn to co-exist . Though we have different religions, we are God's children, so we should learn to co-exist, learn to love and cooperate to move Nigeria forward.

Deputy Governor Ipalibo Harry Banigo, in her remarks, prayed God to preserve Governor Wike  for him to continue to  develop  the  state and  defend  the  people.
Country President of International Federation of Female Lawyers, Mrs Inime Aguma said that the Wike administration has lifted Rivers State  through quality programmes, hence  the economy of the state  is waxing stronger while other states are in recession.
