President, Federal Republic of
Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has urged Nigerians to always prepare to
make sacrifices for the unity of the country, reports ITRealms.
Jonathan made this charge to
Nigerians as part of his message to Nigerian Christians as they commemorate the
2015 Easter.
This year’s celebration of
Easter, he said, is taking place at a period of very critical national choices
and decisions, during which Nigerians must all be prepared and willing to make
sacrifices for greater unity, peace, political stability and progress in our
beloved country.
The major lessons of Easter, he
pointed is that Nigerians celebrate this year in the midst of general elections
in our nation, are to be found in the Messiah’s Divine love and glorious
self-sacrifice for the redemption of mankind.
“We must therefore seize the
opportunity of the Easter holiday to reflect deeply on what more we need to do
as a people, to ensure that the political process in which we are currently
engaged is successfully concluded and that our beloved country, Nigeria continues
to move towards a better future for all of its citizens,” he said.
Jonathan pointed out that
Nigeria has already successfully scaled the hurdle of the Presidential and
National Assembly Elections, as he expressed hope that the gubernatorial and state
Assembly elections will also be conducted peacefully.
“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,” President Jonathan
said, stressing that by the grace of God, Nigeria is moving forward despite all
challenges.
He further asked Nigerians to pray
this Easter, that God Almighty who has brought the nation this far, will
continue to bless Nigeria as Nigerians march onward towards the
fulfillment of the collective vision of a truly united, strong and prosperous
nation.
“I wish you all very happy Easter celebrations,” President Jonathan
declared. Cyriacus Nnaji & Daniel Nsolibe/GEE +Remmy Nweke (ITRealms)
