Lawan preaches love, tolerance

Senate President Ahmad Lawan has felicitated with Nigerians, particularly the Christian faithful, as they join the rest of the Christian world in celebrating Easter.

He urged Nigerians to use the occasion to preach religious tolerance, love for our neighbours and commit to our civic responsibilities.

Lawan, in a statement Thursday by his media aide, Ola Awoniyi, said: “Building a great nation requires sacrifice, endurance and hope. This is especially true in our own case where diversity in tongues and faiths make the task complex.

“But with abiding hope in our manifest destiny of greatness, I believe we shall overcome the challenges and build the Nigeria of our dream.

“The National Assembly will continue to work for the Nigerian people in this regard and in their legitimate pursuit of peace, happiness and prosperity in their beloved country.”
