Gov Mutfwang Harps On Tolerance Among Nigerians
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has urged Nigerians to tolerate each other in spite of their ethno-religious and political differences in order for the country to be in peace and witness development.
Governor Mutfwang made the call on Saturday during the dedication of the ECWA Gospel Church in Kulishin village, Shongom Local Government Area of Gombe State.
Governor Mutfwang reminded Nigerians of the need to rekindle brotherhood among themselves and support and promote the country to the glory to God.
The Governor said that, “It is indeed a great privilege and honour to be here to sharpen one another; to build one another.
“We have come to fellowship with you and to assure you that you are our brothers and we hope that God will sustain and prosper the fellowship existing between us.
“My prayer as I have trusted God for the people of Plateau State, I trust God also that all of us that God has deposited in the Middle Belt of Nigeria, that we will come together.
“Under the glory that God has deposited in our land and in our time, that it will come to manifestation, and Nigeria will be better for it.”
While admonishing the congregants on the need for genuine relationship with God, Governor Mutfwang reiterated that God desires the heart more than physical structures, hence the need for genuine fellowship with God.
According to him, “We thank God for this institution that Hon Jerry Damara and his friends have built for God. Like the preacher and other speakers have said, God does not reside in structures built by the hands of men but in our hearts.
“So I pray for all of us, that our hearts will be the greatest place of worship of God, may this structure indeed give glory to God and may God’s blessings be upon us and help us to worship Him always.”
Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd), who was the Special Guest of Honour, expressed delight at the occasion.
