…Calls for Unity, Compassion, and National Reconciliation
Former Vice President of Nigeria and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, extends his heartfelt felicitations to the Christian faithful across Nigeria as they embark on the sacred journey of Lent in 2025.
In a message released by his Media Office in Abuja on Friday, Atiku reflected on the divine harmony in the coincidence of Lent beginning just days after the commencement of Ramadan, emphasizing that God, in His infinite wisdom, unites rather than divides His people.
“We are grateful to God for the gift of this Holy season, which serves as a reminder of the virtues of sacrifice, compassion, and selflessness that we must embody — not only in our relationship with the Almighty but also in our interactions with one another.”
The statement further underscores the essence of Lent, calling for a new level of  dedication to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving — practices that foster spiritual growth and social responsibility.
Atiku urged Nigerians to seize this moment as an opportunity for national healing and reconciliation, emphasizing the need for love and solidarity, especially in times of economic and political uncertainty.
“Let those who have been blessed extend a helping hand to those in need, so that love may abound, and joy may once again flourish in our land, despite the challenges before us,” he said.
He concluded with a prayer that God grants all faithful the strength, patience, and spiritual fervor to complete this solemn observance with renewed faith and grace.
