Mark urged Christians as they celebrate Easter, to emulate the life and times of Jesus Christ which signified sacrifice, purity and selfless service to humanity.
"As we mark yet another Easter in memory of our Lord Jesus Christ, I enjoin Christian faithful and Nigerians in general to be guided by the lessons of the season and be their brothers' keeper at all times," he said.
He called for peace, unity and mutual co-operation among Nigerians noting that the two dominant religions, Christianity and Islam, stood for peace, unity and love.(NAN)
