A former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Saturday expressed concern over the unabated insecurity in Nigeria and lamented that the unfortunate situation has demystified the country as a great nation. Ekweremadu stated this in a goodwill message to the Christian faithful at Easter. He said only peace built on justice and love could guarantee the much-needed development and lasting security in the nation. Part of the goodwill message read: “It pains in particular to watch as our nation is daily demystified by the mounting insecurity, poverty and multi-sectorial regression. “We can still and should indeed resurrect the giant in Nigeria by pulling together, promoting and imbibing the virtues of justice, forgiveness and love needed to build a peaceful, united, secure and prosperous nation.” Ekweremadu enjoined Nigerians to tread the path of love, justice and peace in their relationship with one another to engender national cohesion and development. The senator said: “Easter is a thought-provoking moment as it commemorates the triumph of love, forgiveness and self-sacrifice over hate and evil. “Unfortunately, Nigeria has not lived up to the promises she held at independence due partly to systemic injustice as well as ethno-religious and sectional discriminations and recriminations that have combined to slow down the nation’s match to greatness.” While wishing Nigerians a hitch-free Easter celebration, Ekweremadu urged them to also cease the occasion to pray for the nation.       [ThisDay]
