People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Gubernatorial candidate for the 2019 elections in Gombe, Northeast of the country, Sen. Usman Bayero Nafada has urged Christians to use the special period of Christmas to share love for an enduring society.
Sen. Nafada, currently representing Gombe North, made the call in a release signed and made available to newsmen by the Director of Media and publicity of the Bayero Nafada Campaign Organization, Dahiru Hassan Kera.
He said, “Christmas is here with us again and we are about witnessing the completion of another year. We must give thanks to almighty God for preserving our lives and giving us the opportunity to witness this festive season of love”.
According to him, Christmas is about spreading and sharing love and stressed that, “We cannot be peace lovers if we are not peace makers”.
He said, “As we celebrate this year’s Christmas, let us soberly reflect and introspect on all that God has done for us as a State, communities, families and individuals and give gratitude to God and the founding fathers of Gombe state for their vision and foresight. Let us be grateful for the tremendous progress witnessed by our past leaders especially the current administration of Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo”.
He expressed his resolve to continue the good work when voted into power in 2019 but pointed that “Together we can further transform Gombe State to an enviable level of sustained development”.
The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and one time Speaker of the Gombe State House of Assembly also used the opportunity to call on the People of Gombe state to join hands with him as he intends to continue to fight poverty and illiteracy by raising the living standard of the people and make the State a land of peace, freedom, equity and opportunity for all.
“As the electioneering campaign gathers momentum, I appeal to the good people of Gombe State to ensure that the elections are held under the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity”, he pleaded.
