President Goodluck Jonathan has asked Nigerians to remain steadfast in the nation’s quest for political stability and continued growth and to also make needed sacrifices for greater unity.
In his Easter message, contained in a statement by his spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, President Jonathan urged Nigerians to imbibe the lessons of the festivity which he stated were founded upon Christ’s “divine love and self-sacrifice for the redemption of mankind”.
From The Womb Of One Mother
President Jonathan said: “As we celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want to celebrate all Nigerians for keeping faith with democracy which is the only vehicle for the continuous growth and stability of our dear nation.
“This year’s celebration of Easter is taking place at a period of very critical national choices and decisions, during which we must all be prepared and willing to make sacrifices for greater unity, peace, political stability and progress in our beloved country.
“As a nation, we must accept that the Presidential elections are behind us and reconcile our differences as children born from the womb of one mother, Nigeria”.
He expressed optimism that having scaled the first huddle in the general elections with the peaceful conduct of the Presidential and National Assembly elections, the governorship poll would hold without the breakdown of law and order.
“To the glory and pride of our fatherland, our collective actions since March 28 have assured the world that the democratic spirit is alive and well in our nation.
“By the grace of God, our beloved nation, Nigeria is moving forward despite all challenges.
“Let us all pray this Easter, that God Almighty, who has brought us this far, will continue to bless our nation as we march onward towards the fulfillment of our collective vision of a truly united, strong and prosperous nation,” President Jonathan said.
