Northern Govs rejoice with Christians at Easter
The Northern States Governors Forum has urged Christians to imbibe the ideals of perseverance, sacrifice and commitment to the will of God which characterised the Lenten season.
The Chairman of the forum and Niger Governor, Dr Babangida Aliyu, on Sunday congratulated Christians and all Nigerians, who are alive to witness this year’s Easter.
A statement by Danladi Ndayebo, the Chief Press State Secretary to Governor Aliyu which was given to Daily Times said: “We are alive today only by God’s grace and favour and not that we are in any way special before the Almighty.''
The Forum in the statement urged Nigerians to continue to render selfless service to humanity. He said that this underscored the essence of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday.
The forum urged citizens to use the opportunity of the Easter celebrations to pray for the quick resolution of the security challenges confronting the nation. It urged Nigerians to pray and work for peace, stability and progress of Nigeria, while supporting the actualisation of the nation’s transformation agenda.
