A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State and immediate past member of the National Assembly, Hon. Dagogo Farah, has urged President Bola Tinubu and members of his cabinet to redouble their efforts at bettering Nigeria to ameliorate the sufferings of the people.
He admitted that though the country was at its lowest ebb, he strongly believes that Nigeria can and will truly prosper, noting that the difficulties and challenges will not spell doom if the right policies are pursued.
Hon. Dagogo, who made this known in a special Easter message, posited that Jesus Christ, as the leader of mankind, made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of mankind and as such encouraged all leaders in positions of authority in the country, irrespective of creed, to emulate his invaluable lessons and sacrifices as espoused by the teachings and death of Jesus Christ and be ready to inconvenience themselves to better the lives of the citizenry.
While felicitating with Christians on the celebration of Easter, the federal lawmaker who represented Degema/Bonny Federal Constituency of Rivers State in the 9th assembly urged them to always imbibe the exemplary lifestyle of Jesus Christ in their doings.
He reminded Christians of their firm responsibilities in following the footsteps of Jesus Christ to the letter by promoting peace, love, tolerance, and togetherness.
He equally used the occasion of Easter to pray for the souls of civilians and military personnel who were caught in the crossfire of insecurity that is bedevilling every region in the country, urging Christians to take advantage of this holy period to continue praying for peace and the development of the country.
“The PDP Governorship aspirant in the 2023 elections said, “This holy and blessed period of Easter should not be limited to its merriment alone but viewed and taken as an avenue for sober reflection; time for us all to join hands together, irrespective of religious or political affiliation, and pray for God’s positive intervention in the affairs of our dear nation.
“Our country is at a crossroads. There is no denying the obvious fact that the country is at its lowest ebb. But it is not all doom if the right policies are pursued and implemented.
“As an incorrigible and infinite believer that Nigeria can and will truly prosper, I therefore urge us all to take advantage of this solemn period and appeal for continued prayers for the country and its people. It is also now very incumbent upon leaders at all levels, including President Bola Tinubu, to redouble their efforts at not only bettering the economy and development of the country but also ensuring that the right policies with a human face are escalated to ameliorate sufferings being witnessed across all nooks and crannies of the country.
“Let us also use this period to remember, commiserate with loved ones, and pray for the repose of the souls of civilians and security personnel who were caught in the crossfire of insecurity that is ravaging our country.”
