Governors under the aegis of Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) have called on Christian faithful to use the opportunity of Easter celebrations to pray for the quick resolution of the security challenges confronting the nation.
The Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu on Saturday in Minna, called on Nigerians to be mindful of the need to continue to work for peace which underscores the essence of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo, the forum said terrorism was alien to our culture and urged all Nigerians to work together to put an end to the senseless killing of defenceless citizens.
The forum also urged Christians to imbibe the ideals of perseverance, sacrifice and commitment to the will of God which characterised the Lenten season.
The forum then congratulated Christians and all Nigerians who are alive to witness this year’s Easter, reminding the faithful that “we are alive today only by God’s grace and favour and not that we are in any way special before the almighty.”
The statement reiterated the need for Nigerians to pray for and work towards peace, stability and progress of Nigeria, emphasizing the need for Nigerians to support their leaders at all levels for the benefit of all.
The forum wished Nigerians memorable Easter celebrations.
