As the nation joins the rest of the world to mark Easter, Senator Abubakar Ohere has urged Kogites to make the interest of the state a priority in all their endeavors regardless of varied religious or political inclinations.
The Senator, in an Easter message he personally signed on Saturday, noted the chequered socio-economic and political challenges facing the nation and opined that ”with collective will and cooperation of all, we can surmount our difficulties”.
He maintained that “which ever side of the religion or political divides we may find ourselves, what must be paramount is the interest of our state and country at large. What makes for the good of all; welfare and security of our citizens must of a necessity be our vision and purpose”.
While calling for renewed faith and commitment to the ideals of nationhood, Ohere noted that Kogites should continue to demonstrate resilience and perseverance as always in order to reach the promised land.
He specifically advised citizens to maintain peace and order, especially during this period in the overall interest of the nation.
Senator Ohere praised the Christian community for their prayers and fasting during the Lenten season and urged them to sustain the tempo for the continued peace and unity of the nation.
He reminded Christian faithful of the need to remain steadfast and always promote religious harmony between and among various groups as the needed panacea for peace and unity of the country.
