On Thursday, the Anglican Bishop of Abakaliki, Monday Nkwagu, tasked leaders and the led to embrace sacrificial services capable of positively impacting national development.
Mr Nkwagu gave the charge in Abakaliki on the significance of Easter, which he said signified victory and salvation for mankind.

“We are eager and expecting an administration that will bring hope and transformation over what has been wrong. We believe it is going to be real next level,’’ he said.
Mr Nkwagu stressed that if Nigeria’s democracy would stand and leaders and the led exhibited the fear of God, Nigeria would be a better country.
