Yobe State Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, has urged Christian faithful to use the Easter period to pray more for Yobe state and the country.
Buni made the call in a message felicitating with christians on the occasion of the Easter period, saying, “we should pray for peace, unity, and prosperity of Yobe state and Nigeria.
“The Easter is coming at a time when the Muslim faithful are observing the Ramadan fast, this provides us with an opportunity to pray for our dear state, the nation, and our leaders”, the governor said.
He urged the clergies and their followers to preach and spread the message of love and sacrifice as contained in the lessons of the Easter.
“We should concentrate more on the issues that unite us in spite of our individual and collective differences to move forward and prosper as a state and country.” Gov. Buni added.
He expressed gratitude to God for the improved peace enjoyed across the state, “we should always pray and support, the security agencies in the continued fight against insurgency and crime generally.
“I wish the Christian community a very peaceful and memorable Easter celebration with a touch of love and sacrifice on the lives of your neighbours, especially those in need of care and support.” Gov. Buni said.
