Governor Yahaya advises Nigerians to imitate Jesus
Governor Inuwa Yahaya has urged Christians and Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of Jesus’ teachings to sustain peace and unity in the nation.
Mr Yahaya said this in a Christmas message to Christian faithfuls on Thursday. He said the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth offers an important moment to reflect on the virtues that bind humanity, regardless of faith or background.
He said love, compassion, and selflessness are central to Jesus Christ’s teachings.
“These values are also essential for sustaining peace, unity, and harmony in our dear state and our nation,” he said
While felicitating Christians on Christmas, he said the season reinforces timeless values of love, peace, sacrifice, and tolerance.
The governor urged Christians to use the festive season to pray fervently for peace, unity, stability, and prosperity across the region and other parts of the country.
He said that such prayers were necessary as part of collective resilience and shared responsibility required to overcome economic, security, and social challenges.
He also called on residents of Gombe State to remain committed to supporting government efforts to improve the well-being of the people.
Meanwhile, he hinted at the administration’s tradition of extending practical support to communities during festive periods to ease the burden of celebration, as part of efforts to promote solidarity and shared joy.
