Alhaji Mohammed Muktar Shuaibu,
has congratulated Christians in the council area for witnessing this year’s Christmas celebration.

Shuaibu urged them to continue to work and pray for peace, as well as live peacefully with one another and with adherents of other religions.

Specifically, he urged Bassa residence to pray to God to bless the efforts of the present administration in ensuring an all round development and progress for the state.

According to Shuaibu, Christmas is a season to give and expect little in return, a time to preach peace and love, a time to forgive, live in harmony and seek the face of the King of Kings.
