All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart and presidential hopeful, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to rededicate themselves to the task of nation-building “as never before”.
In his Easter message to the country, he said, “Let us reach out to one another as never before and, together, build our lives and this nation as never before.”
Tinubu also said in the contest between what is good and bad, “what is right and human shall win”.
He said all these in a statement personally signed by him.
The statement partly reads: “Jesus sacrificed himself for the wellbeing of others. For his goodness, he was ridiculed, tried, and convicted in the worst of ways. The wrongdoers thought they defeated him. They indeed were wrong. He overcomes their cruelty to achieve that which he was brought into this world to achieve. He withstood so much to reach his destiny. In so doing, he brought forth a new faith that has been the fountain of spiritual uplift to billions of people for over two centuries.
“To the extent possible, we must try to emulate his morals and ethics in our personal and public lives. His devotion and selflessness, we must imitate. His sense of justice, we must reflect on. Jesus’s compassion for all and his special love for the downcast and downtrodden, we must revere and honor in all that we do.
“This goes for each of us as individual Nigerians. It equally goes for us as a nation. Skeptics and critics have written us off. They say we have failed and can no longer be good. They are wrong because they do not know us. Yes, challenges face us, but we also face them. And we shall face them down.”
