Atiku Abubakar, presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says Nigeria is going through
difficult times.
In his Easter message on
Thursday, Abubakar, however, urged Nigerians to be hopeful as “a new Nigeria is
being birthed.”
He said Nigeria will surpass its
challenges as one and emerge a nation “of possibilities instead of
impossibilities.”
“Easter is a time of
resurrection. Of dying to what was imperfect and reawakening to what is
perfect. This is the message of hope which this season is all about,” the
former vice president said.
“Nigeria is going through
difficult times. But Easter gives us hope that, as a nation, we will die to
challenges and live to our potentials. We will die to extreme poverty and live
to extra and prosperity. We will die to strife and be united in life.
“Even as we celebrate, I urge all
Nigerians to remember the men and women of our armed forces, who are even right
now in ditches and trenches in order to keep us safe. Let us also spare a
thought to those who have suffered at the hands of terrorists, marauders and
criminals. A new Nigeria is being birthed. A Nigeria of possibilities instead
of impossibilities.
“Suffice to say that Jesus Christ
(Nabi Isa) is a compassionate friend to all who are weary and heavy laden, and
as we celebrate His resurrection, let us also remember the less privileged in
our midst.
“Let us also thank God for the
fact that we remain as one nation under God. Where there is unity, there is
much hope. Much hope indeed.”
