A former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has urged Christian faithful to use the occasion of Easter to pray for peace and for the country’s unity.

In his Easter message, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart said Easter is not only the time to be merry but also the time to reflect on love and sacrifice.

“The essence of Easter celebration is not merely for us to merry. It is a season to reflect on the purpose and meaning of love and sacrifice. Love, because God says we should love our neighbours as ourselves. And sacrifice because love is hardly practicable without an intention to make a sacrifice.

“Therefore, on this occasion of Easter celebration, I urge all Nigerians to take time to pray first of all for peace to return to the country and also for unity. Nigeria is at the precipice of insecurity, poverty and, most unfortunately, disunity. These are challenges, not impediments. The way to surmount these challenges is to learn from the world when super power countries who are rivals suspended politics to face a common threat in Covid-19,” he said.

He also recalled how the coronavirus pandemic crippled many activities in most countries in the world last year. He hailed the health workers who, like the example set by Jesus Christ, sacrificed their lives in battling the virus.
