THE All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Nigerians to come together, irrespective of their differences, for a national rebirth, in the spirit of Easter, which is being celebrated around the world.

APC

In its Easter message, contained in a statement issued in Lagos, yesterday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party, said: “At the core of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, are the messages of renewal and rebirth, sacrifice, forgiveness and love.

In the culmination of his life of selfless sacrifice, Jesus Christ gave his life for others to live. Let us emulate him, in our private and public lives, by showing those virtues for which he lived.

“This year’s Easter celebrations have coincided with an ongoing political transition that has so far been widely adjudged a success, and one that also paves the way for us to have a national rebirth. In doing this, we must show love and eschew bitterness. We must put the acrimony of the long drawn electioneering campaign behind us,” it said.
