Imbibe Christ’s Teachings Of Peace, Honesty, Love – Bauchi Governor, Bala Tells Christians

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has admonished the Christian faithful in the state to imbibe the virtues of peace, honesty, love and fear of God as preached by Jesus Christ.
The governor stated this in his Easter message to the faithful on the occasion of Easter in which Christians mark Christ’s crucifixion, death and resurrection and urged them to give special thanks to God for making it possible for them to witness and celebrate the period.

The governor recalled that in his lifetime, Jesus Christ preached peace, honesty, love for one another and above all the fear of God and therefore enjoined everyone to imbibe these virtues and put them into practice, irrespective of their religious inclinations.

He called on Christians to put into practice the lessons of Jesus Christ, who taught patience and self-denial from all sinful acts and appealed for sober reflection and self-evaluation by all.

Governor Mohammed tasked the people of the state to bury any ethnic, religious or political differences and live in peace and harmony with one another as Bauchi State and the nation as a whole need continuous prayer to overcome their myriad of challenges.

He then used the opportunity to thank the people of the state for their perseverance and understanding over the economic difficulties being experienced, which, according to him, was a national problem that should be seen as a temporary setback.

Mohammed added that as a people known for resilience, Nigerians would overcome its difficulty in no distant future.

He said

“The primary objective of a responsible government is to ensure the security of lives and property of its citizens. Let me, therefore, reiterate the irrevocable commitment of the Bauchi State government to the maintenance of law and order.

“To this end, we have taken all measures to ensure the safety of lives and property of the people of the state.”

He, however, appealed for continued support and cooperation of citizens with the government in its efforts to ensure a peaceful Bauchi State that everyone would be proud of.
