The statement quoted Buhari as saying, “We should not allow the antics of a few mischief mongers to fragment the unity and faith that the vast majority of citizens of this country cherish and believe in. As I have said before, we are better and stronger as one nation under God.”

Similarly, the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, in his Easter message, urged Nigerians “to use the occasion to preach religious tolerance, love for neighbours and commit to civic responsibilities.”
