Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians to come together irrespective of faith to pray for peace in the nation.
Atiku made the call in his Easter message to Christians on Sunday.
“This Easter, we join our Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria and across the world to celebrate the essence of the festivities.
“It is also a time for all of us — regardless of faith, or ethnicity — to come together to pray for the peace of our nation. We must all remain constant in our efforts to promote unity.
“Our shared experiences are bringing us to the conclusion that no matter what the forces of evil can do, when we are united in good conduct, we shall prevail.
“Our leaders at all levels should follow the virtues that define this season – sacrifice, love, and charity – and come together to help all Nigerians resolve the differences that divide us.
“We must not allow those who seek to divide us to pretend as if our problems are as a result of another ethnic or religious group,” the statement read.
