The Northern Christian Youth Professionals has urged Christians to distance themselves from any anti-May 29 handover activity.
The Christian body also advised Christians to reflect on the virtues of Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and emulate them in their daily lives.
The youths pleaded with Christians to also use this opportunity to reflect on the state of the nation and the challenges.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by the Chairman, Northern Christian Youth Professionals, Isaac Abrak, the body urged those who did not vote for the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to put aside their differences and support him in his efforts to improve the lives of all Nigerians.
The statement reads in part: “The Northern Christian Youth Professionals extend warm wishes to all Nigerians on the occasion of the Easter celebration. As we celebrate this season of love, renewal, and hope, we call on all citizens.
“In light of the Presidential election, we congratulate His Excellency, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory. We believe that under his leadership, Nigeria can make significant progress in improving our economy and security.
“We are aware that not all Nigerians voted for President Elect HE Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but we urge those who did not vote for him to put aside their differences and support him in his efforts to improve the lives of all Nigerians….
“However, we note with concern the recent calls by some individuals and groups to shelve the handover of power to President Elect HE Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We strongly condemn such calls as they are enemies of democracy, peaceful coexistence, and a united Nigeria. Nigerians have spoken through the ballot, and it is important that we respect the will of the people.”
