“This season calls upon all Christians to reflect deeply and recommit to the virtues that Easter embodies: selfless love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
“Christ’s journey to the cross and His glorious resurrection remind us that true leadership and citizenship demand putting others before ourselves, bearing one another’s burdens, and choosing the path of peace even when confronted with adversity,” he said.
Governor Soludo wished the entire Christendom in Nigeria, a happy Easter celebration.
He prayed that, as many gather with their families and friends to rejoice in the risen Christ, their hearts may be filled with renewed hope, their homes abound in peace, and the light of the resurrection illuminate their paths towards a more just and harmonious society.
