Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has charged Christian faithful to seek God\u2019s intervention over the country\u2019s security and other crisis bedevilling it.<\/p>\n

The party urged Christians to dedicate themselves to more prayers during the Easter period, particularly in praying for their leaders.<\/p>\n

Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe and Chairman of APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) gave the charge in a statement issued by his Director-General, Press and Media, Alhaji Mamman Mohammed on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, Buni also called for love, unity, peace, harmony and tolerance among Nigerians.<\/p>\n

He called on religious leaders to use the occasion of Easter to preach peace, tolerance and unity among Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Buni who wished all Christians and Nigerians a peaceful Easter celebration said the period should be used to pray for Nigeria to overcome its challenges and for its prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a people of faith, we should dedicate ourselves to more prayers during the Easter to seek divine intervention and guide our leaders right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Governor Buni urged Nigerians to embrace togetherness, stressing that the country would achieve its dream of becoming a great nation if love and unity are in place.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, called on everyone to work towards unifying and strengthening the country.<\/p>\n
