President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday urged Nigerians not to “allow the antics of a few mischief mongers to fragment the unity and faith that the vast majority of citizens of the country cherish and believe in.”
The President said this on Thursday in his message of felicitation on the occasion of the Easter celebration.
Buhari said the Easter period presents the opportunity to “renew hope and faith, show love and appreciation to one another and not to despair, no matter the challenges of the period.”
Buhari commends the security agencies and military for their continued efforts to confront “evil-minded individuals through the darkest of nights to keep us safe.
“I am convinced that the new resolve within the security personnel to make sure that insecurity in the country becomes part of our history will come to pass,” he said.
“As a government, we will continue to ensure that the weak, the poor and the underprivileged in our midst are not abandoned,” he said.
“We have tried our best to provide support to families and businesses affected at this time.
“That is the spirit of Easter. The spirit of Faith. The spirit of Belief. The spirit of Hope.”
