Unite for national rebirth, APC urges Nigerians
The All Progressives Congress has urged Nigerians to cometogether, irrespective of the fault lines separating them, for anational rebirth, in the spirit of Easter, being celebrated inthe country and around the world.
In its Easter message, contained in a statement onSaturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, theparty said this years Easter celebrations could not have come at abetter time, hence the lessons must not be lost on Nigerians.
APC said, At the core of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of JesusChrist, are the messages of renewal and rebirth, sacrifice,forgiveness and love. In the culmination of his life of selflesssacrifice, Jesus Christ gave his life for others to live. Let usemulate him, in our private and public lives, by exhibiting thosevirtues, for which he lived.
This years Easter celebrations have coincided with an ongoingpolitical transition that has so far been widely adjudged a success,and one that also paves the way for us to have a national rebirth.
Indoing this, we must show love and eschew bitterness. We must put theacrimony of the long drawn electioneering campaign behind us.
Just like Jesus Christ remains a shining light in a world of gloom,let us be beacons of faith, hope and love as we, irrespective of ourpolitical leaning, embark on the onerous task of making our nationgreat again.
