…asks Nigerians to support families, others
From Timothy Olanrewaju, Maiduguri
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum has called for prayers to ensure leaders in the country serve with sincere hearts as Christians mark the Easter Celebration.
Zulum in his Easter Message released by his spokesman, Isa Gusau, in Maiduguri on Sunday, asked Christians to pray well for the country’s leaders.
“Above all, I seek prayers that God sustains our human efforts to be good leaders whose hearts and minds will remain overwhelmed by the sincerest desire to serve the good people,” he said.
He also requested for divine intervention to ensure his performance in the second term surpasses his first tenure (29th May, 2019 -29th May 2023).
He felicitated with Christians across the country and urged Nigerians to make sacrifices in reaching out to family members, friends, neighbours and other community members in need of help.
“On behalf of Borno State Government, I heartily felicitate with our Christian brothers and sisters in Borno and across Nigeria at this Easter season,” he said.
He urge security agencies to sustain efforts to protect life and properties during and after the celebration.
Thousands of Maiduguri, Borno’s capital residents, on Sunday headed for Easter services in their various churches. Presence of policemen were noticed in some areas of the city.
