President Goodluck
Jonathan on Saturday urged Nigerians to be prepared to make sacrifices for the
unity and political stability of the country.
Jonathan made the call
in an Easter message he personally signed and made available to journalists by
his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.
He urged Nigerians to
use the Easter holiday to reflect on what more they needed to do to ensure that
the ongoing political process is concluded successfully.
The President said,
“For Christians all over the world, the major lessons of Easter, which we
celebrate this year in the midst of general elections in our nation, are to be
found in the Messiah’s divine love and glorious self-sacrifice for the
redemption of mankind.
“This year’s
celebration of Easter is taking place at a period of very critical national
choices and decisions, during which we must all be prepared and willing to make
sacrifices for greater unity, peace, political stability and progress in our
beloved country.
“We must therefore
seize the opportunity of the Easter holiday to reflect deeply on what more we
need to do as a people, to ensure that the political process in which we are
currently engaged is successfully concluded and that our beloved country,
Nigeria continues 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.”
He further urged
Nigerians to pray during Easter that God who had brought the nation this far,
would continue to bless the country as it marches onward towards the
fulfillment of collective vision of a truly united, strong and prosperous
nation.

Whoever that hates u is out of envy . with there clue plus their hate they can't sit where you sit, drink from the cup u drank from, step to places you have been to, much less on the throne you are on right now . for period of 6 years they are under your governance , when your convoy comes they stand still for the king to pass . you have a good heart thought surrounded by enemies of your progress but the same favor that brought you has protected you alive through it all.
