Group under the auspices of Northern Christian Youth Professionals have called on Christian faithfuls to distance themselves from anti-May 29th handover elements as they celebrate the Easter season.
A statement signed by its chairman, Isaac Abrak and issued to Newsmen in Kaduna, urged Christians to celebrate the season of love, renewal of hope while also calling on all citizens to reflect on the virtues of Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and emulate them in their daily lives.
He explained that Christians must also use the Easter period to reflect on the state of the nation and its challenges. In light of the Presidential election, we congratulate His Excellency Sen Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory. We believe that under his leadership, Nigeria can make significant progress in improving the economy and security.
” We are aware that not all Nigerians voted for President Elect HE Sen Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but we urge those who did not vote for him to put aside their differences and support him in his efforts to improve the lives of all Nigerians.
” He will now be responsible for the well-being of all citizens, and it is important that we all work together towards a better Nigeria. As a Christian organization, we firmly believe in the power of prayer and the importance of leadership that upholds Christian values.
The group also appealed to all Nigerians, irrespective of religious beliefs, to support the President Elect HE Sen Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his efforts to improve the lives of Nigerians.
They lament the recent calls by some individuals and groups to shelve the handover of power to the President-Elect while describing such individuals as enemies of democracy, peaceful coexistence, and a united Nigeria.
” Nigerians have spoken through the ballot, and it is important that we respect the will of the people, while calling on all Nigerians to distance themselves from any person or group that calls for the subversion of the will of the people.
” We must all work together to tackle the various challenges facing our nation, including insecurity, economic hardship, and political unrest. We urge all Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of Easter, which is selflessness, compassion, and love, and to work towards promoting peace, unity, and progress in our beloved country,” The group appeal.
Adding,” We are confident that under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria will move towards a better and brighter future, urging all Nigerians to join hands with him and work towards the progress and development of the great nation.” The group concluded.
