As Christians worldwide commence this year’s Lenten season, President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerian Christians to pray ‘fervently for the country’s unity and progress.
The president made the appeal in a message today to felicitate with Christians on the occasion as he enjoined Christians to join their counterparts worldwide to observe the 40-day fast, to emulate the worthy example of Jesus Christ.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari also facilitated with Christians on the occasion.
The statement said: “The president urges Christians to pray fervently for the country’s unity and progress.
“President Buhari enjoins all Nigerians to intensify love, brotherliness and concern for the less privileged members of their communities in order to strengthen the bond of togetherness.
“As Christians begin the period of increased prayers, piety, sacrifice and selfless services, the President wishes them and all Nigerians well.”
