In the spirit of the Easter, the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has charged Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of Jesus Christ.
IPAC’s National Publicity Secretary, Chinyere Oge-Kalu, in a statement on Sunday, encouraged Nigerians to pray for the country as it grapples with economic hardship.
Oge-Kalu said: “The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) felicitates Christians across the country on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebrations which signifies the resurrection of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion for the sin of mankind.
“IPAC urges Nigerians to use this joyous occasion of the victory of life over death to rededicate their lives to God and imbibe Christ’s virtues of love, compassion, tolerance and sacrifice.
“Council enjoins citizens to pray for the nation and its leaders as they pilot the affairs of the country in this difficult time.
“Partisan politics should give way to patriotism and nation building to steer our wobbling economy to the path of recovery and sustainable growth, which will curb insecurity in the country.
“Council pray that the joy, peace and hope of Easter will inspire and spur governments at all levels to deliver democratic dividends to the suffering masses who have been asked by all administrations since Independence in 1960 to make sacrifice.
“As the umbrella body of all registered political parties in Nigeria, IPAC is committed to our collective task of consolidating and advancing the nation’s democracy, ensuring an environment conducive for successful elections, political stability, enduring democracy and overall well-being of Nigerians.”
