Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has felicitated with Christians on the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, urging them to use the period of the celebration to seek the face of God and work towards a peaceful and united nation.

Obaseki, in his Easter message, charged the Christian faithful to imbibe the virtues of tolerance, sacrifice and love as exemplified by Jesus Christ.

His words: “Easter is a time of reflection, renewal and hope. It reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind.”

His death and resurrection brought hope to a world filled with despair, and it remains a symbol of hope for all humanity.

“In Nigeria, we face peculiar challenges that require resilience and hope. As a nation, we have witnessed unprecedented security challenges and economic difficulties, among others. However, I strongly believe that we will overcome these challenges and emerge stronger.”

The governor charged Edo citizens to use the Easter period to reflect on their collective responsibility in building a better state and nation. “Let us demonstrate love and kindness towards one another and continue to support the efforts of government in providing good governance.”
