Emulate Christ, El-Rufai urges Nigerians

Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir el-Rufai, has urged the people of Kaduna state to reject the negativity of the demagogues who seek to turn them against each other just because their faiths and tongues differ.

El-Rufai in his Christmas message also asked residents of the state to ‘commit to peace and goodwill towards all.

“We all can, as Christians as well as Muslims, emulate the example of Jesus Christ. We can strive to be better than we are today, combining our faith with exemplary conduct.

“We pray to God Almighty that the blessings and lessons of Christmas will spread all through our state and move us to be better people. The festive aspects of our celebration of Christmas may be limited by the reality of a second wave of life-threatening Covid-19 infections.

“But as people of faith, we know that God’s love is unlimited; that amidst the trials and tribulations that confront us, the Almighty still avails us many reasons for joy in His Grace and gratitude for His protections.

“Each one of us has a vital duty of personal responsibility as part of the collective action that is essential to curbing the spread of Covid-19,” el-Rufai noted,” the message read in part.
