President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Christians to emulate the worthy example of Jesus Christ and pray fervently for the development of the country.
He stated this in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Wednesday and released to the press to mark the commencement of this year’s Lenten season.
He expressed the belief that Nigeria’s existence as one united country is a divine arrangement and nothing should be done to jeopardize it.
Buhari further enjoined all Nigerians to show love and be of brotherly concern to the less privileged members in their communities.
He wished all Christians and Nigerians well in this solemn period of increased prayers, piety, sacrifice and selfless services.
