He recently revealed this via a statement to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, the Christian community should keep emulating Jesus Christ by making sacrifices that would advance the cause of development, and reflect on the purpose of Easter and redemption of our nation.
He added that Nigerians should also use the opportunity to reflect on the purpose of Easter, and the redemption of our nation that will happen with selfless service, love for one another, forgiveness, empathy and hope.
His words, “As we Christians celebrate the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary and His resurrection, let us use the opportunity to reflect on the purpose of Easter and the redemption of our nation that will happen with selfless service, love for one another, forgiveness, empathy and hope.”
