Insecurity: Atiku Urges Nigerians To Emulate Jesus Christ, Have Forgiving Spirit

In the midst of the country’s insecurity and challenges, former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians to pray for the country’s stability and unity.

Nigeria will resolve its problems, according to Atiku, if people follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and have a heart of forgiveness.

In his Easter message to Nigerians, the former Vice President made the remark.

Atiku urged Nigerians to band together in the face of the country’s difficulties, as most advanced countries did in the face of COVID-19.

He claimed that love among Nigerians is impossible to achieve without sacrifice.

Easter, according to Atiku, is a time of contemplation and sacrifice.

Atiku said in a letter he personally signed, “The essence of Easter celebration is not merely for us to merry.

“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.

“I believe that when we approach our challenges with a heart of forgiveness and love, humanity will always triumph. This is the lesson that Jesus (Nabil Yisa) taught us.”

The former Vice President also urged Nigerians to pray for the military, which he said has made great sacrifices in order to keep people safe.
