The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Nigerians to pray for peace, development and prosperity at Easter.
Its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in a message, canvassed the need for Nigerians to imbibe humility, tolerance, selflessness and sacrifice exhibited by Jesus Christ.
He asked Christians, especially religious leaders, to always promote religious harmony between and among religious affiliation.
The APC national chairman assured Nigerians that the 10-month old APC-led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to delivering on the Change Agenda promised them.
He said: “The 2016 National Budget passed by the National Assembly provides ample framework to deliver on these promises.”
Oyegun, who called for global collaboration in the fight against terrorism, said the best chance of defeating terrorism was to come together as a united front to defeat the global threat.
He urged Nigerians, irrespective of religious, ethnic and political affiliation, to support government in the fight against violent extremism, abductions, mass killings, politically-motivated killings and other criminal activities.
The APC national chairman said: “In the wake of the gruesome March 22 Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek Metro Station terror attacks in the Belgian capital, Brussels and the March 25 stadium suicide attack in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, the need for greater international cooperation in the fight against global terrorism is reinforced.
“No country is insulated from the global terrorism threat. Our best chance is to come together as a unified front to defeat this global threat.
“I call on Nigerians irrespective of religious, ethnic and political affiliation to support government in the fight against violent extremism, abductions, mass killings, politically-motivated killings and other criminal activities. Also, the public should remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies in the fight against criminal activities.
“While we salute and pray for our armed forces, police and other security agencies fighting to restore peace and normalcy in the Northeast, rest assured that the end to the Boko Haram-led insurgency and other forms of terrorism by the extremist sect is near.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
