Kebbi State Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu on Saturday urged Christians to continue to embrace peaceful coexistence in Nigeria.
Bagudu in a press statement issued through his Special Adviser to the Governor, Mallam Yahyah Sarki, stated that Nigerians across the religious and ethnic divide must continue to be their brothers keepers.
According to him, βBagudu also said that the festive period was a time for reflections on the sterling messages of the Yuletide, with a view to using them to make Nigeria better.
