He called on Christians to use the occasion of this year\u2019s Easter Celebration to pray for the Peace, Unity, and Progress of our country.<\/p>\n

Aregbesola also assured that the government would leave no stone unturned in dealing decisively with the spate of kidnapping, armed banditry, and other crimes and criminality being perpetrated by enemies of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity is everybody\u2019s business, I therefore encourage all Nigerians and foreigners resident in Nigeria, to display high level of patriotism at this critical time in the history of our country, to support the efforts of all security agencies in ensuring peace and security of lives and property of the citizenry” he said<\/p>\n
