every citizen to come together, irrespective of the fault lines

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the national publicity secretary of the party,
released this statement in Lagos on April 4, 2015, Saturday.
The Easter message read in part:
"At the core of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, are the messages of renewal and rebirth, sacrifice,
forgiveness and love. In the culmination of his life of selfless
sacrifice, Jesus Christ gave his life for others to live. Let us
emulate him, in our private and public lives, by exhibiting those
virtues for which he lived
"This year's Easter celebrations have coincided with an ongoing
political transition that has so far been widely adjudged a success,
and one that also paves the way for us to have a national rebirth. In
doing this, we must show love and eschew bitterness. We must put the
acrimony of the long drawn electioneering campaign behind us.
"Just like Jesus Christ remains a shining light in a world of gloom,
let us be beacons of faith, hope and love as we, irrespective of our
political leaning, embark on the onerous task of making our nation
great again."
