Former president Goodluck Jonathan has called on leaders at all levels to embrace selflessness, sacrifice, and humility in service to the nation.
In his Easter message to Christians in Nigeria and around the world, Jonathan said the season offers an opportunity for reflection on the values of faith, service and sacrifice as demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
He noted that leadership requires putting public interest above personal gain, adding that true leadership is rooted in sincerity, humility and service to the people.
“Easter speaks to us about faith, sacrifice and service. These are not just Christian virtues; they are the values that hold a nation together,” Jonathan said.
The former president urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the country, stressing that Nigeria had overcome difficult times in the past and would overcome its present challenges.
“True leadership demands that we live above personal interest and serve with sacrifice, humility, and sincerity. This way, we can build a peaceful and prosperous country,” he added.
Jonathan also encouraged citizens to remain steadfast in hope and continue believing in Nigeria’s future despite current challenges facing the country.
