Xmas: ACF felicitates with Christian faithful, calls for prayers

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has felicitated with Christians nationwide and globally on Christmas celebrations and a happy New year in advance. 

The ACF in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Professor Tukur Muhammad-Baba, called for prayers in the face of a mirage of challenges facing the nations.

The statement read, “No doubt, our communities variously face daunting existential economic challenges, social upheavals, poverty, inequalities, political disagreements. No less, or even more worrying has been the insecurity bedeviling our communities due to the criminal activities of bandits, extremists and other misguided elements or social misfits in the society. ACF yearns for an end to all these problems.

“ACF is conscious, worried and prays for escape from all the challenges. In the spirit of the Yuletide Season, ACF calls on all to fervently pray for a deserved return to mutual understanding, tolerance, cooperation, responsible neighborliness, peace and tranquility in all communities specifically and for humanity in general.

“ACF also calls on all to pray for knowledge, courage, wisdom and empathy for our leaders, whether political, religious or traditional, as well as for our armed forces as they try to grapple with the challenges of the economy, insecurity, leadership and governance.

“May the Christmas celebrations be our merriest and 2024 the happiest yet for all.”
