He also stressed the need to avoid violence and action that could fuel division for the society to forge ahead in the crucial task of having a united nation.

While noting that being alive to witness another Christmas remains a privilege, the legislator urged them to celebrate Christmas modestly and lend a helping hand to others with sharing of gifts, especially food items among the poor and the less privileged around them.
Mustapha also appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the administration of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in its quest to rejuvenate the nation’s economy and making the country better for all.
