 And Christians in Kadena State on Saturday joined their counterparts all over the world to celebrate Christmas with praise and thanksgiving. Clerics in Kadena State have called in government at all levels to address lingering security issues confronting the country at large. President of the United Church of Christen in Nigeria, Reverend Dr. Amos Kiwi, urged Christian fatefuls to use the occasion for sober reflection and offer prayers to God to bring an end to various challenges peddling the state and the nation at large. The pains masses are going through is unbearable. We cannot see any good reason that the government will give today for increase in fuel pump. No good reason there should be increase in sales of rice. This government came with a mandate, a mandate of back to the farm, a mandate in order to curb security, a mandate to ensure that the lives of people in this country live a comfortable life. Why should they now start talking about increasing fuel pump? How much is rice today? How much do you go to market to buy food stock today? When has been hiked, please my serious appeal is to Mr. President, reconsider whatever kind of decision either the National Assembly or your own self in terms of increasing this fuel. We are sure that in our difficult situation and in this difficult moment that we are finding ourselves in this country, Jesus is with us because he is Emmanuel. He will continue to live among us and we strongly believe that he will not let us down. But I call on them to put more effort to see that they bring an end to this kidnapping, this banditry in our dear country. I also want to watch our Nigerian that even as we are celebrating Christmas, we should not forget the reasons for the Christmas. It is a Christ mass, we are celebrating the coming of Christ into this world which is the symbol of our salvation. Say I thank God for the gift of life and provision to our families, I want to appreciate God for what he has been doing in our life throughout this year so we say thank you to God.
