Senator
Binta Masi Garba who represents Adamawa North Senatorial District in the
Senate, yesterday narrated how her father set all her belongings on fire after
she accepted Jesus Christ as her lord and Savior.
She narrated the episode at the Chapel of Praise International Church, Yola, during a thanksgiving service marking her 50th birthday on Sunday, April 15.
Senator
Binta said she had always been a Muslim prior to her conversion to Christianity
and that her conversion caused a major rift between herself and her
father.
“I
gave my life to Christ when I was in primary school. My father was infuriated
and he burnt everything I had because of my decision to follow Christ. I
suffered so much because of the name of Jesus. I would have been nothing if not
for His grace. The rejected child, because of my faith, has become a
cornerstone. I give glory to His name.”
Also in
attendance at the event was Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who called for
prayers for Christians holding positions in government.
