President Muhammadu Buhari has asked Christians in the country to pray for Nigeria’s unity and progress.
The President said this in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Mr Femi Adesina, as he felicitates with Christians on the commencement of this year’s Lenten season.
“As they join their counterparts worldwide to emulate the worthy example of Jesus Christ who fasted 40 days at the beginning of His earthly ministry, the President urges Christian brothers and sisters to pray fervently for the country’s unity and progress,” the statement said.
President Buhari believes that Nigeria’s existence as one united country is a divine arrangement and nothing should be done to put it asunder.
He further called on all Nigerians to intensify love, brotherliness and concern for the less privileged members of their communities in order to strengthen the bond of togetherness.
During the period of increased prayers, piety, sacrifice and selfless services, the President wished the Christians and all Nigerians well.
