He admitted that though there is no gain denying the obvious fact that the country is at its lowest ebb, however , “as an incorrigible and infinite believer that Nigeria can and will truly prosper”, the difficulties and challenges will not spell doom if the right policies are pursued.
Hon. Farah, who made this known in a Special Easter message, posited that Jesus Christ, as the Leader of mankind, made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of all and as such encourages all leaders in position of authority in the country, irrespective of religious creed, to emulate His invaluable lessons and sacrifices as espoused by the teachings and death of Jesus Christ and be ready to inconvenience themselves to better the lives of the citizenry.

He equally used the occasion of Easter to pray for the souls of civilians and military personnel, who were caught in the crossfire of insecurity that is bedeviling every regions in the country, urging Christians to take advantage of this Holy period to continue praying for peace and development of the country.
“This Holy and blessed period of Easter should not be limited to its merriment alone but viewed and taken as an avenue for sober reflection; time for us all to join hands together, irrespective of religious or political affiliation, and pray for God’s positive intervention in the affairs of our dear nation.
“Our country is at a crossroad. There is no gain denying the obvious fact that the country is at its lowest ebb. But is not all doom if the fight policies are pursued and implemented. As an incorrigible and infinite believer that Nigeria can and will truly prosper, I therefore urge us all to take advantage of this solemn period and appeal for continued prayers for the country and its people. It is also now very incumbent upon leaders at all levels, including President Bola Tinubu to redouble their efforts in not only bettering the economy and development of the country but in ensuring that right policies with human face are escalated to ameliorate sufferings being witnessed across all nooks and crannies of the country.
“Let us also use this period to remember, commiserate with loved ones and pray for the repose of the souls of civilians and security personnel who were caught in the crossfire of insecurity that is ravaging our country,” Hon Farah implored.
