The president-elect, Bola Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to reflect on God’s priceless sacrifice and limitless love for mankind at Easter.
Mr Tinubu, in a statement, urged Christians to emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ by showing love to neighbours, regardless of tongue, faith, and tribe, as they celebrate Easter.
“We will make faster progress toward the achievement of the peaceful, united, strong, progressive, and prosperous country we all desire if we eschew divisive, parochial, ethnic, religious sentiments and rivalries,” the president-elect said.
He noted that Easter was about renewed hope and redemption, symbolizing the triumph of hope over despair, love over hate and condemnation, and optimism over cynicism.
“As we all enjoy the well-deserved break, I urge every Nigerian to reflect on the priceless sacrifice and limitless love of God for mankind.
“For Christians everywhere, this celebration is in commemoration of Jesus Christ’s life of service and his supreme sacrifice for the salvation of mankind.
“Let us all imbibe the essential message of Christ’s ministry and truly begin to love our fellow Nigerians as we love ourselves,” he said.
The two-term former governor of Lagos State urged Nigerians to live more harmoniously with their compatriots.
