Governor Mai Mala Buni has charged Christians and their leadership with focusing more on preaching peace, love, and justice.

Mr Buni said this in a Christmas message on Thursday.

According to him, no meaningful development can exist without peace and justice on the land.

“We should spread the message of love because we are all created and loved by God. All the scriptures preached and promoted peace. We should, therefore, be our brother’s keepers,” he said.

The governor, who earlier hosted officials of the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, enjoined them to use the yuletide and pray to God to sustain the massive improvement in the security of the state.

“People now move freely pursuing their legitimate businesses. This calls for celebration and to appreciate God for making the state more secure and peaceful.

“Use the occasion to pray for more peace, security and prosperity of the state and country,” he said.

John Onyema, who led the delegation, said the governor demonstrated true leadership qualities and supported everyone in the state without recourse to religion and ethnic backgrounds.

Mr Onyema lauded Mr Buni for the developmental strides in providing services and projects that everyone in the state enjoys.

“As the 2025 new year sets in, we urge you to continue doing the good works for the benefit of all,” he said.
