The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian
Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has urged
Christians and Muslims to work harmoniously in Nigeria.
Abubakar said they should collaborate in bringing an end to
insecurity, intolerance, corruption and other ills in Nigeria.
He made the appeal in his Easter message to Christians,
yesterday and was contained in a statement signed by NSCIA Director of
Administration,Yusuf Nwoha.
The monarch also lamented that the Coronavirus pandemic was
affecting religious worship.
“As people of faith, we’re conscious of the importance of
Easter in the lives of Christians, especially as it symbolises rebirth, renewal
and re-awakening.
“The significance of Easter cannot even be more compelling
than now that the whole world is facing the devastating consequences of the
coronavirus pandemic which impacts on our lifestyle and religious worship,” he
said.
His call is coming at a time when the toll of COVID-19 in
Nigeria currently stands at 323.
The latest figure followed five new confirmed cases of the
disease by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
The new confirmed cases were identified in Lagos, Kwara, and
Katsina States respectively.
