The Governor of Yobe State, Hon. Mai Mala Buni (CON, COMN), has extended heartfelt congratulations to Christians in the state as they celebrate Christmas, urging them to use the occasion to promote peace, love, and unity.

In a statement signed by the Director-General, Press and Media Affairs, Mamman Mohammed, Governor Buni expressed gratitude to God for the improved security situation in Yobe, noting that citizens can now go about their legitimate activities without fear.
