Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State on Thursday evening released a goodwill message in celebration of Easter, calling for national rebirth against Nigeria’s daunting challenges.
“Our nation is facing challenges that we can overcome if we choose to, by exercising collective tolerance and being ready to make sacrifices,” Fintiri said.
According to the Easter message sent to newsmen by Fintiri’s Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, while calling for a national rebirth to move Nigeria forward, the governor urged attitudinal change.
“This season should serve as a reminder of the selflessness, love, sacrifice and tolerance of Jesus Christ,” Fintiri said, urging Christians to show the spirit of unity, love and peace as the world celebrates Easter.
He stressed that such fundamental values would go a long way in strengthening the harmony in the state and country.
Governor Fintiri advised Nigerians to always provide selfless service to humanity just as Christ demonstrated through his death and resurrection.
He said: “When we show love and offer selfless service just as Christ did, then our nation and indeed the world we live in will be a better place for all of us.”
He said the teaching about being your brother’s keeper is even more apt now because Nigeria needs a peaceful environment for development to thrive.
