The Civil Liberties Organization (CLO) called on Nigerians on Saturday to be their brothers’ keepers to exemplify the lifestyle of Jesus Christ.
The Chairman of CLO in Anambra, Mr. Vincent Ezekwueme, made the call in his “Easter Message of Hope,” made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu.
Ezekwueme noted that Nigerians needed that bond of love and affection for one another to pull through the present challenging socio-economic realities of the country.
According to him, CLO is appealing to Nigerians, especially the political class and the working class, to emulate and exhibit in words and actions the selfless sacrifices of Jesus Christ towards the redemption of mankind.
“Nigerians should use this period to show love, empathy, forgiveness, justice, equity, compassion, and kindness for one another.
“In the spirit of Easter, let us resurrect from our sins and unbridled quest for materialism, power, fame, and wealth; rather, we should always think about the common good, interest, and social wellbeing of the generality of the citizens.
“This ought to be a period of sober reflection, to repent, think love, act love, show love, and put smiles on the faces of those who can never pay you back, which is the reason for the season.
“May the blessings, grace, peace, and resurrecting power of Jesus Christ be upon us now and forever, Amen,” he said. (NAN)
