Governor Bala Mohammed's Christmas Goodwill Message

GOODWILL MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF BAUCHI STATE BY HIS EXCELLENCY, SEN. BALA ABDULKADIR MOHAMMED CON, Fnipr, (KAURAN DAULAR USMANIYYA) THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF BAUCHI STATE ON THE OCCASION OF THE 2024 CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION ON WEDNESDAY,  25TH DECEMBER, 2024

 

My  Fellow Citizens of Bauchi State.

 

It is to the glory of God Almighty that we are witnessing the 2024 Christmas. The annual celebration of Christmas, as we all know is in commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ who paid the supreme price in order to save the lives of his disciples and followers. It is with great pleasure that I, on behalf of myself, the government and  the entire people of Bauchi State, extend my warm and sincere message of goodwill to all Christians on the occasion of this year’s Christmas Celebration.


2- Jesus Christ had throughout his lifetime preached peace, honesty, love for one another and above all the fear of God.  It is these virtues that people irrespective of their religious   belief are enjoined to imbibe and put into practice. While we celebrate the event with meditation and happiness, we should also reflect seriously on our routine and spiritual deeds in the last one year and pray to God for better and prosperous years ahead.  


3- I wish to use this occasion to reiterate my call for mutual respect and peaceful co-existence among our citizenry.  We should learn to live with one another harmoniously irrespective of our political, cultural and religious differences.  We should also imbibe the spirit of love and forgiveness. The Christmas period should also be used to strengthen existing friendships and establish  new ones. To this end, I call on Christians in particular to  exchange visits among  themselves and adherents of other faith during the Christmas period.


4- As you all know, the primary responsibility of any   Government is to ensure security of lives and property of its citizens.      To this end, the State Government is collaborating with security agencies to address real and perceived threats to  security of lives and property of the  citizenry. Pursuant to this, the Government is  providing logistics  and other support to the security Agencies for effective and efficient operation.


5-  The provision of infrastructural facilities and social amenities is aimed at stabilizing and  strengthening the economic status of the State to become one of the States that has strong economic  base in the country. We shall therefore continue to work relentlessly towards  the realization of this noble objective.


6.  I wish to appreciate your support  to my Government  since its  inception.  On our part, we are  striving  as much as possible to reciprocate  the gesture by embarking on policies and programmes that have direct  bearing on the  lives of the people.  With your  continued  support and understanding,  all nooks and crannies of the State would benefit from our developmental programmes.


7.  Government is not unmindful of the  current economic  hardship being experienced by the  generality of the people of  our country. Indeed, we are worried  that the very people who gave us the mandate to formulate and  implement policies for the betterment of their socio-economic wellbeing are  being subjected to untold hardship.  As a  subnational government, we are doing everything possible to ameliorate  the hardship and make life meaningful to you all. To this end,  the State Government has been providing palliative  items to  bring succor to the  people.  We will not relent in this regard. I call on you all to continue to exercise patience, while we work towards ending the hardship.


8.  While wishing you a merry Christmas, I pray that the occasion will be observed peacefully.  May the God Almighty continue to guide and protect us, Ameen.


9- Thank you and God bless.
