The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged leaders to rise to the occasion with humility and a clear sense of purpose to ensure peaceful coexistence among their citizens.

The CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, said this in Abuja as Christians all over the world mark Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week.

Okoh said that Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, where He was welcomed with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna”.

According to him, this signifies a powerful symbol of peace, humility and hope which is recorded in the Gospels of Matthew 21:1–11, Mark 11:1–11, Luke 19:28–44, and John 12:12–19.

Okoh said that these offered enduring lessons for the nation as it navigates uncertain and challenging times.

“These lessons are especially pertinent as we are once again confronted with a painful reminder of the fragility of peace in our land.

“Jesus’ choice to enter Jerusalem on a donkey symbolising peace and servanthood remains a timeless example.

“Our leaders must embrace the principles of servant leadership, placing the welfare of the people above personal or political interests.

“Amidst insecurity, economic hardship, and displacement, let their actions be marked by compassion, justice and a steadfast commitment to national healing,” he said.

The Association also condemned the recent killings in Plateau State, particularly the attacks of April 4, which claimed the lives of dozens of innocent citizens in Bokkos and Mangu Local Government Areas.

“These senseless acts of violence represent not only a gross violation of human dignity and the sanctity of life, but also a serious threat to our national unity and peace.

“We call on the security agencies to act swiftly and decisively in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

“We also urge all tiers of government to intensify efforts to secure all communities and prevent further bloodshed.

“The continued loss of lives in such tragic circumstances is simply unacceptable,” he said.

The CAN President further appealed to all Nigerians, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation, to rise above division and embrace “our shared identity as one people under God,l”.

According to him, the diverse crowds in Jerusalem were united in hope.

He urged Nigerians to come together in similar manner, with a common purpose to heal the land and build a future grounded in mutual respect, compassion and solidarity.

“Palm Sunday reminds us that even in times of trial, there is hope. The journey to national renewal begins with each of us.

“Let us be mindful of our words and actions, choosing to be peacemakers in our homes, communities, and workplaces.

“Through a shared commitment to truth and justice, we can overcome the pain of the present and help shape a Nigeria where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive,” he said. (NAN)
