Read President Jonathan’s Easter Message to Nigerians

 Fellow citizens,

I greet you all, especially our Christian brothers and sisters,  as
we celebrate Easter in commemoration of  the resurrection of our Lord,
Jesus Christ.

For Christians all over the world, the major lessons of Easter, which
we celebrate this year in the midst of general elections in our nation,
are to be found in the Messiah’s Divine love and glorious
self-sacrifice for the redemption of mankind.

This year’s celebration of Easter is taking place at a period of very
critical national choices and decisions, during which we must all be
prepared and willing to make sacrifices for greater unity, peace,
political stability and progress in our beloved country.

We must therefore seize the opportunity of the Easter holiday to
reflect deeply on what more we need to do as a people, to ensure that
the political process in which we are currently engaged is successfully
concluded and that our beloved country, Nigeria continues to move
towards a better future for all of its citizens.

Happily, we have already successfully scaled the hurdle of the
Presidential and National Assembly Elections.  I am quite hopeful that
the Gubernatorial and State Assembly elections will also be conducted
peacefully.

To the glory and pride of our fatherland, our collective actions
since March 28 have assured the world that the democratic spirit is
alive and well in our nation.

By the grace of God, our beloved nation, Nigeria is moving forward despite all challenges.

Let us all pray this Easter, that God Almighty who has brought us
this far, will continue to bless our nation as we  march onward towards
the fulfillment of our collective vision of a truly united, strong and
prosperous nation.

I wish you all very happy Easter celebrations.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President,
Federal Republic of Nigeria
