“As we mark this joyous occasion, I urge everyone to emulate the virtues of love, sacrifice, and compassion demonstrated by Jesus Christ. Let us use this period to promote unity, understanding, and cooperation among ourselves, which are essential for building a harmonious and progressive society,” the governor said.

“While these times are undeniably tough, I encourage everyone not to lose hope but to stay optimistic and committed to the vision of a better Nigeria. Together, we can overcome our challenges and pave the way for a brighter future,” he added.
The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to advancing development across all sectors and improving the quality of life for all residents of Gombe State.
