Insecurity: Nigerians should emulate Jesus Christ, have forgiving spirit – Atiku

 

Amid the level of insecurity and challenges facing the country, former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has urged Nigerians to pray for the peace and unity of the country.

Atiku said Nigeria would overcome its challenges when citizens emulate Jesus Christ by having a heart of forgiveness.

The former Vice President made the remark in his Easter message to Nigerians.

Atiku urged Nigerians to unite against the country’s challenges like most advanced countries did against COVID-19.

He pointed out that without sacrifice, love is not achievable amongst Nigerians.

Atiku described Easter period as a time of reflection and sacrifice.

In the message he personally signed, Atiku said, “The essence of Easter celebration is not merely for us to merry.

This occasion of Easter celebration, I urge all Nigerians to take time to pray first of all for peace to return to the country and also for unity.

Nigeria is at the precipice of insecurity, poverty and, most unfortunately, disunity.

These are challenges, not impediments. The way to surmount these challenges is to learn from the world when super power countries who are rivals suspended politics to face a common threat in COVID-19.

I believe that when we approach our challenges with a heart of forgiveness and love, humanity will always triumph. This is the lesson that Jesus (Nabil Yisa) taught us.

The former Vice President also appealed to Nigerians to pray for the military for their sacrifices in keeping citizens safe.

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
