“I have a big task ahead, lets do it together”, pleads Jonathan in Easter message
Goodluck Jonathan
In an Easter message in Abuja, on Saturday, in which he also expressed warm felicitations to the nation, and Christians in particular, on the occasion of the Easter celebrations, he said that his administration was taking all necessary steps to ensure that the nation quickly overcomes the trauma of the untoward events that followed the declaration of the results and unite to participate in the remaining elections in order to ensure a peaceful transition on May 29, 2011.
Jonathan stated that he was well aware of the great responsibility entrusted to him with massive victory in the presidential elections and therefore assured Nigerians that he would work tirelessly to fulfil all his campaign promises in the next four years.
He promised “a purposeful, thoroughly focused and dynamic post-May 29 administration that will continue to give priority attention to the critical developmental challenges facing the nation, particularly the rehabilitation and expansion of national infrastructure as well as the improvement of public services such as education and healthcare.”
Jonathan said that every section of the country would be carried along in the implementation of his agenda for national transformation and that the equitable distribution of developmental projects to all parts of the country would remain a cardinal principle of his administration.
The President further assured the nation that he would continue to work with all interest groups in the country to achieve peaceful, secure and politically stable conditions essential for rapid economic development and the creation of millions of new jobs for Nigeria’s youths.
The President said that he would continue to count on the support and prayers of all Nigerians, and act in the best interest of the nation at all times.
He noted that the major significance of Easter was its promise of renewal and redemption for mankind, as well as in its lessons of peace, love, selflessness and sacrifice for the common good.
The president who pointed out that this year’s Easter came in the midst of historic elections that would further consolidate progressive democratic governance in the country, urged Nigerians, Christians and non-Christians alike, to seize the opportunity of the season to reflect on its lessons, forsake hate and violence, and embrace peace and unity for the successful conclusion of the elections.
