In his message to felicitate Christians in Nigeria and worldwide as they commemorate Easter – the cornerstone of the Christian faith – President Tinubu expressed his administration’s resolve to restore peace and security in the country.
“Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face,” Tinubu stated. The President, while reassuring that his resolve remains unshakable, declared that the “forces of evil” would never prevail against the country.
“I have given clear directives to the Armed Forces and all relevant security agencies to end insecurity decisively and without delay.
“With the unwavering courage and commitment of our gallant men and women in uniform, we are turning the tide and making steady progress in reclaiming peace and stability,” he stated.
President Tinubu further commended Nigerians for their patience and resilience as “the economy begins to show encouraging signs of recovery.” He added that his administration was working assiduously to change the narrative in all sectors with a view to restoring investor confidence.
“We understand the economic challenges many of you are facing, and we are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians.
“The Holy Week, which spans Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday and Good Friday and culminates in Easter Sunday, calls us to reflect deeply on the enduring values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope.
“As President of our blessed nation, I draw inspiration from this timeless message of hope and renewal. I remain steadfast in my commitment to delivering the promise of a Renewed Hope, a better, more just, and prosperous Nigeria for all .
“The recent tragic incidents and the loss of lives in some parts of our country deeply saddened me. I understand the pain and fear these incidents have caused,” the President said. He also joined the global Christian community in thanking God for Pope Francis’s recovery during this Easter, praying that his renewed strength continues to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.
Tinubu added: “I earnestly pray that Easter’s spirit fills every heart and home with renewed faith in the immense possibilities ahead of us as a nation. Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face. The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day.
“I urge all Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress. The task before us is enormous, but together, with faith and determination, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Our unity and resilience are our greatest strengths.
“May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity. Happy Easter to all my fellow Nigerians.”
