Hundreds of Muslims from across Northern Nigeria on Thursday joined Christians at the Christmas service of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry in Kaduna, marking a powerful show of interfaith unity and peaceful coexistence. The annual gathering drew participants from across the region, underscoring a growing culture of mutual respect between the two faiths.

The General Overseer of the church, Pastor Yohanna Buru, said the participation of Muslims in the Christmas celebration has become a long-standing tradition, now in its 15th year. He noted that attendees included Muslims from different Islamic sects such as Tijjaniyya, Shi’ite groups under the Islamic Movement, and Sunni Muslims, all coming together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and promote peace, unity, and understanding.

Buru added that Muslim delegations presented gifts to the church as symbols of love and friendship, stressing that the event came at a critical time marked by economic hardship, insecurity, rising food prices, poverty, and unemployment. He said sustained interfaith cooperation and prayers remain vital for national stability, noting that the consistent turnout over the years reflects strengthening interreligious ties in Northern Nigeria.
