The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Gusau, Zamfara State, Right Reverend John Garba Danbinta has reminded Nigerians to always exhibit love, forgiveness, unity and reconciliation for one another for the progress of the country.
He stated this while speaking with newsmen in Gusau, the Zamfara state capital shortly after the Christmas service on the significance of the Christmas day celebration.

“The Special message is that we all need to come back to God, we need to repent, we need to forgive one another as God has forgiven us” he added.
He pointed out that, love and unity are some of the major ingredients that can drive national development.
“We are people without hope but Jesus has forgiven us and we also need to forgive one another especially in this Nigeria where we have had problems and challenges, we need to come back to God as one people to build our country Nigeria.”
“How can we be where we ought to be until we decide Christians and Muslims begin to love one another, begin to show that we are all human beings, nobody came to this world by themselves.”
