The Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has congratulated the Christian community on the Easter festivities, calling it a period of reunion, self-discipline, sacrifice, forgiveness, and commitment to God.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Rafiu Ajakaye on Saturday, the Governor called on Nigerians to take advantage of the period.
He also urged them to seek God’s favour for the country and to reunite against all forces of evil who seek to tear the country apart and terrorise its people with violence and economic sabotage.
The Governor said; “That this Easter period coincides with the Muslims’ month of Ramadan – in which self-discipline and increased virtues are seriously encouraged — is in fact a signal to the faith communities to unite, speak, act and pray in one accord for a greater Nigeria. Let us come together to fight all forces of evil that work against peace and development.”
According to him, at this Easter and beyond, he wished everyone greater strides and glad tidings as he recommit the people to a better Nigeria and stronger ties as a community of people bounded by common destiny.
