The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has felicitated Christians across Nigeria on the celebration of Easter in the country.
The ACF urged Christians to continue to pray for peace, security, and economic recovery for Nigeria, for God’s intercession “so that Nigeria’s leaders are re-endowed with faith, love for ordinary citizens and the wisdom to chart Nigeria to the path to righteousness and glory.”
The Forum made the call in its Easter message issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Prof. T. A. Muhammad-Baba, on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
Muhammad-Baba noted that the ACF is not unaware that the 2025 Easter is being celebrated amid continuing daunting existential socioeconomic, political, and, most worryingly, security and criminality challenges in Nigeria.

The ACF spokesman said: “Adding to the tragedy are monstrous corruption, selfishness of leaders, nepotism political insensitivity, inequities, impunity, lack of frugality, provocative and ostentatious lifestyles of political and other office holders, etc.
“Doubtless, living conditions are dire, particularly in the northern states and in Nigeria in general. The needed public policy responses to the problems have been grossly inadequate and far from being effective and satisfactory.
“Believing that a more peaceful, prosperous, and socially harmonious Arewa, and Nigeria, is still possible and plausible, ACF remains hopeful that our communities will emerge more resilient, stronger, hospitable, even more accommodative for all, as opposed to the current culture of pervasive anger, mutual mistrust, intolerance, despair and hopelessness.”
