A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Farah Dagogo, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other heads of government agencies at all levels in Nigeria to redouble their efforts of making the country better, thereby ameliorating the sufferings of the people.
Dagogo, in a special Easter message, admitted that though there was no gain denying the obvious fact that the country is at its lowest ebb.
He, however, stated that as an incorrigible and infinite believer that Nigeria can and will truly prosper, the difficulties and challenges will not spell doom if the right policies are pursued.
The former federal lawmaker, who is also a chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Jesus Christ, as the leader of mankind, made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of mankind.
Dagogo, therefore, encouraged all leaders in position of authority in the country, irrespective of religious creed, to emulate His invaluable lessons and sacrifices as espoused by the teachings and death of Jesus Christ and be ready to inconvenience themselves to better the lives of the citizenry.
While felicitating with Christians on the celebration of Easter, the former federal lawmaker urged them to always imbibe the exemplary lifestyle of Jesus Christ in their doings.
He reminded Christians of their firm responsibilities in following the footsteps of Jesus Christ to the letter by promoting peace, love, tolerance and togetherness.
The former PDP governorship aspirant in Rivers State equally used the occasion of Easter to pray for the souls of civilians and military personnel, who were caught in the crossfire of insecurity that is bedevilling every region in the country, urging Christians to take advantage of this Holy period to continue praying for peace and development of the country.
He said: “This Holy and blessed period of Easter should not be limited to its merriment alone but viewed and taken as an avenue for sober reflection; time for us all to join hands together, irrespective of religious or political affiliation, and pray for God’s positive intervention in the affairs of our dear nation.”
