The Governor noted that only God’s intervention would ensure the victory over the war against terrorism in the country which has been orchestrated by the Boko Haram sect.

In a goodwill message signed by his Director-General, Media and Publicity, Ahmed Maiyaki, Governor Yero congratulated Christians and indeed the entire people of Kaduna State on the occasion of the Easter celebration, and called on them to forge greater unity irrespective of their religious or ethnic diversities.

The Governor also urged Christians to use the Easter period to pray for peace and stability of the State and the entire country, urging them to reflect on the significance of the event to the salvation of mankind as well as human brotherhood, love and peace.

He condemned the spate of criminality and killings in the country, especially the recent bomb attack at the Nyanya Motor Park in Abuja which claimed many lives, and prayed that God Almighty should expose the perpetrators that are bent on creating confusion in the country.

The Governor called on Christians and Muslims to forge greater unity through prayers for national peace and stability. He urged people in the state and the entire country not to despair over the present security challenges assuring them that God would surely defeat those plotting to destabilize Nigeria.
