President Goodluck Jonathan has called on Nigerians to make more sacrifices for greater unity, peace, political stability and progress of the country as they. Celebrate this year’s celebration of Easter which he said is taking place at a period of very critical national choices and decisions.
In a statement he personally signed today, President Jonathan asked Nigerians to be prepared and willing to seize the opportunity of the Easter holiday to reflect deeply on what more they need to do as a people, to ensure that the political process in which the country is currently engaged is successfully concluded.
He wanted the citizens also, to reflect on the country would continue to move towards a better future for all of its citizens.
“Happily, we have already successfully scaled the hurdle of the Presidential and National Assembly Elections. I am quite hopeful that the Gubernatorial and State Assembly elections will also be conducted peacefully.
“To the glory and pride of our fatherland, our collective actions since March 28 have assured the world that the democratic spirit is alive and well in our nation.
By the grace of God, our beloved nation, Nigeria is moving forward despite all challenges.
“Let us all pray this Easter, that God Almighty who has brought us this far, will continue to bless our nation as we march onward towards the fulfillment of our collective vision of a truly united, strong and prosperous nation.”
