As part of his Easter goodwill message,
President Muhammadu Buhari has urged all Nigerians to keep faith with his administration’s commitment and ability to change the Nigerian story for good.

He, however, urged Nigerians to live in peace because without peace, no meaningful and sustainable development can take place. “I congratulate our Christian brothers and sisters on the celebration of this year’s Easter. The message of Easter is filled with themes of love, faith, sacrifice, dedication, commitment, fulfilment of prophecy, hope, expectation and victory, as espoused in the Scriptures and the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus Christ,” said Buhari.
