No fewer than 150 Muslim youths and Imams worshipped together with Christians during Christmas service in Kaduna to strengthen peace, unity and religious tolerance in the state, theNews Agency of Nigeria reports.
Pastor Yohanna Buru, the General Overseer of Christ Evangelical Intercessary Fellowship Ministry led the service in Kaduna.
He said the prayer was to promote peaceful co-existence among different faith organisations “and to shun ethno-religious and political differences affecting the state for decades.”
Buru said, “More than 150 Muslims youths and Imams, traditional title holders and various groups attended Christmas service with their Christian brothers in order to promote peace and harmony and religious tolerance across the state.
“Prayers were offered by both Muslim and Christian scholars and we also pray for the unity and development of the country.”
The general overseer expressed satisfaction over the large number of Muslims who attended the service, as some Muslim youths protected the Church by providing security service.
He said, “I am very happy with what I witnessed today; today is a very special day to all Christians all over the world, it is surprising to see that not only Christians came to worship with us today.
“We have large numbers of Muslim youths and traditional title holders who joined us in prayer; this is a clear fact that Nigerians can really be their brothers’ keepers; it is amazing.
“We all must remember that we are from same parents (Adam and Eve) and we all worship one God.’’
Among the traditional title holders at the prayer was Alhaji Ahmed idris, the Chika Soran Zazzau and Hakimin Unguwar Ma’a’zu, who led a team of some Muslims to the pastor’s house to congratulate him and wish Christians a Merry Christmas and happy new year

Highly commendable. It j

Nice....



Morality is all that matters.
One love!!!

Nice move...

This is commendable but northern Christians should not lose guard because of this. In situations of religious violence in the north, your best friend is always your worst enemy.

Praying and hoping for the day when Islam will be identified with tolerance and peaceful coexistence in practical terms.
