Professor Zulum says
“I happily felicitate with our Christian brothers and sisters in Borno State at the Christmas festival. In our shared creed of hospitality for which Borno has been known, I respectfully urge celebrants, especially those with means, to extend compassionate support to relatives, neighbours and friends, with fewer means to enjoy the festival.
“As we know, in Borno State, we are uniquely bonded by interesting instances of families, in which siblings from the same parents, parents themselves and extended relatives are Christians and Muslims with the same blood in their veins. This, in addition to being fellow Nigerians, makes us one indivisible family in Borno State, for which we must continue to respect each other’s beliefs.”
“I use this special moment to kindly urge all Nigerians, particularly religious leaders, to commit our dear country, Nigeria, in sustained prayers to God Almighty, for our resumed campaigns and upcoming elections, to hold peacefully across the nation, before, during and permanently after the polls.”
Zulum continued, “I humbly urge all Nigerians to pray for a peaceful transition, especially at the Presidential level, pray for all parts of our country to fully regain peace and stability, pray for our continued unity, our economy and our overall prosperity”,
