The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Niger State Chapter has urged the Muslim Ummahs not to relent in their prayers for peace, unity and development in the state and especially for an end to all its challenges.
The State Chairman of CAN, Most Rev. Dr. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, who made this call in a message to commemorate the 2023 Eid-El-Kabir festival, said it is only when there is security of lives and properties that the people can enjoy peace, growth and development.
He said, “on behalf of the entire Christendom in the state, I congratulate the Governor, Umar Bago and millions of Muslim Ummahs as you celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
“I enjoin you all to continue fervently in your prayers especially at this period of sacrifice for an end to insecurity and for the peace of our dear State.”
The Cleric, who is also the Catholic Bishop of Kontagora Diocese, expressed optimism that the sacrifices of the season will restore the much desired peace and unity the state desired.
Rev Yohanna urged Nigerlites not to cease in praying, noting that with divine intervention, “we will soon overcome the current challenges confronting our state.”
