President-elect Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to reject divisive tendencies and prioritize national unity and cohesion.
In his Easter message, personally signed and shared with newsmen in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized that ethnic and religious sentiments constitute a threat to warm relationships and urged Nigerians to recommit themselves to edifying and patriotic pursuits for the nation’s interest.
“As we celebrate, let us also remember our obligation, as God’s children, to love our neighbour, regardless of tongue, faith, and tribe,” Tinubu said in the statement.
He added, “We will make faster progress towards the achievement of the peaceful, united, strong, progressive, and prosperous country we all desire if we eschew divisive, parochial, ethnic and religious sentiments and rivalries, and begin to live more harmoniously with our compatriots.”
Tinubu acknowledged the significance of Easter for Christians worldwide, commemorating Jesus Christ’s life of service and supreme sacrifice for the salvation of humanity.
He urged Nigerians to embrace the spirit of Renewed Hope and Redemption that Easter represents, symbolizing the triumph of hope over despair, love over hate, and optimism over cynicism.
