National leader of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has tasked Nigerians to rededicate themselves to fixing the   country in the spirit of Easter.



“Easter is all about endless sacrifice and agape love,” Asiwaju Tinubu  said in his goodwill message to Nigerians on the occasion, adding: “These are selfless traits we all could use to fix our country, no matter the present difficulties.”



He said as Jesus Christ gave everything; to save humanity from sin and doom, so should Nigerians do everything to rally and save the country from its present challenges.



His words: “Jesus Christ threw in everything: he suspended his divinity so as to be nailed on the cross like a common criminal.  He suspended his divinity to feel the searing pains of the flesh, as they hammered the nails into his palms and legs. It is this amount of painful sacrifice, this level of uncommon love that we all need to save our country.  Let us give it our best shot.”



Everyone, according to him, should seize the peace and tranquillity of the season to make Nigeria a better place, particularly in the areas of inter-faith tension and violence.



“Jesus Christ was a pacifist.  Even if he had the power to do and undo, he was as meek as a   lamb.  All he preached was love, humility, moderation and forgiveness.
