“Let us be grateful that we are here to celebrate the passing of another year when so many have suffered misfortune.

We also have to approach the New Year with a renewed faith”, his Christmas and New Year message read in part.

Read the full text of his message below;

In this period of yuletide, I wish to extend my warmest seasonal wishes to my colleagues, friends, associates and the entire Christian community in and around Yendi.

Let us be grateful that we are here to celebrate the passing of another year when so many have suffered misfortune. I believe it is important for us to reflect upon how far we have come and all that we have to be grateful for. We also have to approach the New Year with renewed faith.

It is the time for us to gather, love, listen, and learn from each other, and to remember that together and with the help of God we can overcome any challenge and achieve any future of which weapon can dream.

Let’s continue to believe in ourselves. God bless us all. God bless Yendi. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.
