Agba, in a goodwill message on Good Friday in Abuja, also urged Nigerians to love one another.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He pointed out that Christ\u2019s love, which made Him surrender His life on the cross at Calvary for the remission of sin of man, was the essence of the season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said it was only in the atmosphere of peace and love, which the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ represented that \u201cwe can unleash our creative potential for the development of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Agba urged Nigerians to \u201cfocus more on issues that unite rather than divide us as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to him, there is no limit to the amount of collective good that can accrue to a united nation. I urge us to be united in focus and in pupose.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish all of us a momentous Good Friday and celebratory Easter Sunday and Monday in the abundance of love, peace, and unity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
