In a statement issued Wednesday by his special adviser, Jonathan urged Christians, that as they undergo the rites of the 40-day Lenten season, to pray fervently for peaceful, violence-free and successful general elections scheduled for March 28 and April 11. President Jonathan further urged all those seeking political offices in the elections to eschew hate speech, incitement to violence and divisiveness, as well as the malicious denigration of opponents.
