The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Christians mark the Easter celebration across the world in commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

According to him, Easter is very important to us as Christians, haven fasted and fortified ourselves spiritually.

“We should pray for the stability of peace as some elements are seriously threatening the peaceful coexistence of our beloved country.

“We should pray for our leaders, for a smooth transition and most especially the successful inauguration of Tinubu and his Vice President-elect, Sen. Kashim Shettima to enable them take off smoothly.

“Though we thank God for a successful general election which took lots of our attention without record of crisis and destruction of property as recorded in the past,” he said.
