The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister of State, Dr Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, has enjoined Christendom to use the occasion of the birth of Jesus Christ to pray for the unity, peace and progress of the country. “I call on residents of the territory to use the occasion of Christmas to pray for unity, peace and progress of the nation. Besides the funfair that characterized the occasion, it is also an opportunity for sober reflection and to emulate the exemplary life of Jesus Christ. “I also call on FCT residents to use this spiritual occasion to pray for President Muhammadu Buhari, as the Bible teaches to pray for those in authority. Prayer is key because Jesus Christ started his mission with prayer and ended with prayer,” she stated.
