THE Kebbi State Governor, Dr Nasir Idris, has appealed to Christians to exhibit the spirit of love and tolerance to strengthen unity among Nigerians.
The governor made this known in a Christmas message to the good people of Kebbi State to mark the 2023 Christmases season.
Idris, according to the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ahmed Idris,in a statement made available to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi, identified harmonious relationship amongst people with different faith, culture and tradition as a catalyst for Nigeria to attain greatness, “hence the need for us to love, accommodate and tolerate one another toward building an enviable nation.
“Remember, Christmas period is not only about celebration but it is a period of both joy and sober reflection. Therefore, I urge you to borrow a leave from the life of Jesus Christ and follow his teachings to the later”.
