Pray for Jonathan, Nigeria, Bala urges CAN

MINISTER of the Federal Capital
Territory Administration, FCTA, Senator Bala
Mohammed yesterday pleaded with the
leadership of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) not to relent in praying for
President Goodluck Jonathan and the
country.
Speaking yesterday in Abuja when he
received the Executive members of the
Christian Association of Nigeria, Bauchi State
Chapter that paid him a thank-you visit in his
office, Senator Mohammed reiterated that
President Goodluck Jonathan has done so
much for Nigeria to promote the unity in
diversity of the country and therefore need
to be supported and encouraged especially
with prayers.
The Minister emphasized that his
appointment into the Federal Executive
Council by President Jonathan without
knowing him has deepened his belief in
Nigeria.
He further urged them to continue to pray
and support the Administration of Governor
Isa Yuguda to enable him take Bauchi State
to the next level.
Senator Mohammed remarked that there
wasn’t any need for the thank-you visit
because all he has been doing was to carry
out his responsibility as their son and
representative.
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the
Christian Association, Bauchi State Chapter,
Rev. Lawi P. Pokti said that they were in the
FCT to appreciate the Minister, Senator Bala
Mohammed for what he has been doing for
the Christian Community in Bauchi State
since 2007.
According to the Chairman, President
Goodluck Jonathan did not make any wrong
choice in appointing Senator Bala
Mohammed as FCT Minister and
representative of Bauchi State at the Federal
Executive Council.
Rev. Pokti specifically thanked the Minister
for always identifying with the Christian
Community in Bauchi State especially during
the Bomb Blast that rocked the Living Faith
Church, Bauchi sometime ago as well as
their annual sponsorship to Jerusalem, Israel
for Christian Pilgrimage.
He said, “If it were possible, we would have
come with the entire Christians in Bauchi
State to thank you for all you have been
doing for us”.
