The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has urged Nigerians to practice the virtues of tolerance, forgiveness, self-sacrifice and good neighborliness to one another in order to move Nigeria forward.
In an Easter message signed by ACF National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim, the forum called on the leaders to demonstrate love, peaceful coexistence and commitment to the unity of Nigeria, free of injustice, corruption and other evil vices that have negatively affected the nation’s development.
“The Easter period commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
“Christians all over the world celebrate this period with prayers and activities of self sacrifice for the common good of the society.
“The period also gives the Christians the opportunity to reflect on the life and good teachings of Jesus Christ especially his tolerance, forgiveness and self sacrifice,” the statement observed.
ACF said that with the conclusion of the 2015 presidential election and the declaration of Muhammadu Buhari as the winner, Nigerians should support the President-elect in the task ahead and emulate the statesmanship of President Goodluck Jonathan, especially in this Easter season.
