Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has appealed to Christians across the country to use the Christmas period to pray for the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government.

Mohammed made the appeal when the Christian community led by the State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) paid him Christmas homage at the Government House.

He stressed that, “The issue of politicking is over, it is time for action, therefore, he needs our collective prayers to succeed. Pray for him and pray for me also.

“There is no issue of political party now, pray for APC and PDP to succeed in working for the people of the country.

“If Mr President did not perform creditable, it will affect even us in the state. We need to work together, synergise and ensure that the people got the dividends of democracy,” he said.

The governor further stressed that prayer was very important in changing situations for good, saying, “God is always ready to answer our prayers. Let us pray for more money from the federal government for development of our state.”

While assuring the people that he would continue to serve them, he stressed that he would do better than what was done in his first term, and that he came with the intention of working for the people of the state.

He however, commended the Christian community in the state for their unflinching support to him and his administration since 2019, when he was first elected governor and in 2023, when he was reelected for a second term.

He stressed the need for people to always hold government accountable in order to ensure that the right thing was done.
