He spoke at the 64th graduation ceremony of students of Baptist Theological Seminary, Kaduna, through his representative, Mr John Dara, a chieftain of the PDP. He stressed that Nigerians were living at a time many conflicts facing the country.


Danjuma said Christians in the north were always the target of disgrace and humiliation out of public offices for no just cause.


He noted that Christians from the northern region have passed through delirious times both politically, socially and economically, adding that the way forward was for the people to unite and speak with one voice to achieve progress and development in the zone.


Danjuma was honoured with an award by the seminary for his contribution to the growth and expansion of missionary works.
called on the graduating students to be of good character and Ambassadors of peace wherever they may find themselves.

Danjuma said, “This is not the best of times for Christians in the north, they have passed through delirious time in the last 16 years of our democratic process.


“Northern Christians are the most humiliated and undermine in the affairs of the country. We should not feel inferior, but superior so that we can take our rightful position in the kingdom of Nigeria since we are already in control of the kingdom of the church.


“We must therefore unite and speak with our voice, we must not shy away from our responsibility as Christians, and we must preach peace and say the truth. May the Seminary continue to grow from glory to glory”.


The Ex-NNPC Boss who also spoke at the event, charged the graduands to be of good behaviour in carrying out the work of God wherever they may find themselves.
