Leaders advise Nigerians on Easter celebration amidst the fight to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease.
President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his advice to Nigerians on avoiding the coronavirus. He said “the best and most efficient way to avoid getting infected is through regular hygiene and sanitary practices as well as social distancing.”The Easter celebration, which symbolises the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross, in Christianity, is now blighted by the coronavirus pandemic which has affected most countries in the world to close down and caused about 100,000 deaths.
“Jesus Christ represented man’s ability to withstand temporary pains in the hope of everlasting glory. “I am very much aware of the personal and collective inconveniences suffered by our people due to measures such as restriction of movements and closure of business premises. Being “a matter of life and death,” these sacrifices are in everybody’s interest to save our country from calamity,” Mr Buhari said.
Also, the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, in his personally signed message, urged Nigerians to “strictly observe the public health protocols of social distancing, regular washing of hands and the rules of hygiene in our homes as we mark the joyous occasion.”Mr Lawan further enjoined the faithful to be fervent in their prayer for “divine intervention to vanquish the pandemic, heal the sick and renew the world and Nigeria.
