''My father burnt my property after I accepted Jesus Christ'' Senator Binta Garba

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.

At a thanksgiving service to mark her 50th birthday in Adamawa state, 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.”

Amongst the dignitaries that attended the thanksgiving service include Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Rotimi Amaechi and others.
