Governor Inuwa Yahaya has urged Nigerians to use the Christmas season to pray for Nigeria and enable President Bola Tinubu to succeed in making the nation prosperous.

The Gombe governor said this in a statement on Tuesday to felicitate with Christians.

Mr Yahaya said Christmas presented an opportunity for Christians to pray for the prosperity and well-being of Nigeria to surmount its economic challenges.

He said Mr Tinubu’s administration’s policies aimed to build a resilient and prosperous nation.

“I call for prayers for the prosperity and well-being of the nation, especially during these challenging economic times. I remind all citizens to remain hopeful and continue to support the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of President Tinubu, which aims to build a resilient and prosperous Nigeria for all.

“While these times are undeniably tough, I encourage everyone not to lose hope but to stay optimistic and committed to the vision of a better Nigeria. Together, we can overcome our challenges and pave the way for a brighter future,” he said.

Mr Yahaya enjoined Christians to embrace the core values of Christmas, which connote love, peace, reconciliation, and selflessness, while reflecting on its deeper spiritual significance.

The governor also urged the people to sustain the bond of brotherhood and communal support, emphasising the need for continued peace and stability in the state.

He reiterated his administration’s commitment to advancing development across all sectors to improve the quality of life for all.
