“I am just coming from a programme, where I have donated N500,000 for Mosque development and I will also donate N500,000 to support your church activities.
“Please let’s live in peace, unity and embrace religious tolerance as we are all one in the eyes of God,” he said.
The speaker called on everyone in the state to continue to support Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state to succeed.
Also speaking, Pastor David Baka, former Secretary, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) called on the people of the church to continue to pray for the speaker, governor and other leaders to succeed.
