Gbenga Oladipupo, Abeokuta
The spirit of Christmas shone brightly in Orile-Ilawo as His Royal Majesty, Oba (Prof) Olusegun Alexander MacGregor, the Olu of Orile-Ilawo, personally oversaw the feeding of over 10,000 residents this festive season.
This heartwarming initiative, a cornerstone of his long-standing commitment to community service, marks a continuation of efforts he began over eight years, even before his ascension to the throne.
The event, which brought smiles and sustenance to thousands, underscored Oba MacGregor's dedication to the welfare of his people.
Speaking at the occasion, the monarch urged Christians to embody the virtues of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the importance of love, compassion, and selflessness.
"As we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us reflect on his teachings and emulate his boundless love," Oba MacGregor stated.
He further appealed to all citizens to maintain peace and order, advising against criminal activities during and after the festive period.
"This season is a time for joy and togetherness, not for acts that bring discord or harm. Let us show love to one another, just as Christ demonstrated during his time on Earth."
Oba MacGregor's consistent acts of generosity, predating his coronation, have cemented his reputation as a leader deeply invested in the well-being of his community.
His Christmas outreach serves as a powerful reminder of the true essence of the season: giving, empathy, and fostering a sense of unity.
