The President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Archbishop Daniel Okoh has urged Nigerians to work in unity towards a brighter future for the country.

Okoh who made the call in an Easter Sunday message in Abuja, said that the season signifies newness.

According to him, Easter is a time of hope and renewal, a time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the power that gives a new beginning.

He explained that it was a time to reflect on the sacrifices that Christ made and the new life that his resurrection represents.

The cleric said that as a nation, Nigeria had faced many challenges in recent years, from insecurity and economic instability to social and political unrest.

Okoh, however, said that just as Christ rose from the dead and brought new life to the world, Nigeria too can rise above its challenges and start afresh.

“This Easter, let us all come together and renew our commitment to building a better Nigeria.

“Let us embrace the power that gives a new beginning and work together to create a brighter future for ourselves and our children.

“Let us put aside our differences and come together in unity, just as Christ’s resurrection brought together people from all walks of life,” he said.

The cleric urged Christian faithfuls to l remember the less fortunate in the society and extend a hand of love and kindness to them as they celebrate Easter. (NAN)
