put the March 28 presidential election, which he lost, to Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) of the All Progressives
Congress, behind them and reconcile with one another.
Jonathan made the appeal in a message he posted on his
Facebook page in commemoration of Easter Sunday.
He said the need for reconciliation was borne out of the fact
that all Nigerians were “born from the same womb” which is
Nigeria.
He commended Nigerians for keeping faith with democracy,
which he described as the only vehicle to national growth
and stability.
Jonathan said Easter should be seen as a time to imbibe the
teachings of Jesus Christ, which include reconciliation with
God and others.
The President wrote, “As we celebrate Easter and the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want to celebrate all Nigerians
for keeping faith with democracy, which is the only vehicle
for the continuous growth and stability of our dear nation.
“Easter is the culmination of the Lenten season, a time to
imbibe Christ’s teachings of reconciliation with God and
each other.
“This year’s celebration of Easter is taking place at a period
of very critical national choices and decisions, during which
we must all be prepared and willing to make sacrifices for
greater unity, peace, political stability and progress in our
beloved country.
“As a nation, we must accept that the presidential elections
are behind us and reconcile our differences as children born
from the womb of one mother, Nigeria.
“I am confident that we will do this. Happy Easter and may
God bless Nigeria.”
