The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last general elections, Mr Peter Obi has charged Christians with praying for the country as Easter activities begin.
The former Anambra State governor also urged Nigerians to take advantage of the opportunity for introspection.
Obi reminded Christians on Friday via his verified Twitter handle that the way of the cross remained the way to victory.
He wrote, “The commemoration of Good Friday presents us the opportunity for sober reflections on our lives on earth. Today, we are reminded that the way of the cross is the way to victory. I urge our Christian brethren to present our nation to God in prayer. May God heal our land.”
Recall that the Nigerian government had earlier announced that Friday, 7 and Monday, 10, April 2023 will be public holidays to mark the Easter celebrations this year.
This was confirmed in a statement released by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, in Abuja.
The statement signed by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Begore urged Christians to emulate the attributes of Jesus Christ, which were exemplified by His ministry on the earth.
