He urged the clergies and their followers to preach and spread the message of love and sacrifice as contained in the lessons of the Easter.
“We should concentrate more on the issues that unite us in spite of our individual and collective differences to move forward and prosper as a state and country.” Gov. Buni added.
He expressed gratitude to God for the improved peace enjoyed across the state, “we should always pray and support, the security agencies in the continued fight against insurgency and crime generally.
