Mohammed Bago, the Governor of Niger State, recently suprised people by joining a Christain gospel called SHOUT in Minna.
The eighth edition of the concert was organised by House On The Rock Minna at the Trade Fair Complex on Friday.
A video from the event has gone viral.
Bago sang three songs, among them "I'm a New Creation," "May the Spirit of the Lord Come Down" and the hymn "Hold the Fort."
He told the crowd it was a day to celebrate and be happy.
The concert featured guest ministers, including Apostle Joshua Selman.
The church said Bago has attended the event for four years and missed only the seventh edition.
It described his presence as a continuation of his support for the Christian community, not a campaign appearance.
Bago has used past editions of the concert to call for religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
Mohammed also shared that going to a Christain school did not change his Muslim faith, and he believes that no one should ever be forced to follow a religion.
