The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello, has urged residents to spread the messages of love, sacrifice, tolerance and peaceful co-existence as demonstrated by Jesus Christ in his life time.
Bello made the call in goodwill message to Christians to mark Good Friday and Easter Monday celebration in Abuja on Thursday.
He advised the residents, particularly Christians to use the period of Easter for sober reflection and strive to emulate the exemplary life of Christ for the good all.
“Christ has demonstrated his love for humanity by sacrificing his life for the sins of others’’, he said.
The minister also appealed to all residents to continue to be their brothers’ keepers, irrespective of their religious beliefs, saying that “the best in the sight of God is the most pious.’’
He expressed delight at witnessing yet another occasion when Christians in the territory join their counterparts in the other parts of the World to commemorate the auspicious day in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.
Bello assured them that the FCT Administration in collaboration with the security agencies is more than ever determined to protect their lives and property.
He, therefore, congratulated all residents of the FCT as the World celebrates Easter, which marks the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
