Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has urged residents of the state to take the opportunity the Easter season presents to reflect on the suffering and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ that signifies that even suffering has an end.
   
The governor disclosed this in a goodwill message to Christian on Friday, calling on citizens to stay united to build a respected state and country.
 
He said: “As we enter into this Easter season, let’s remember that it is a season for sacrificing ourselves, the same season that Jesus was sacrificed for the sake of our sins and peace. He died for our healing and not for destruction.”
 
He noted that “citizens should continue with unity and oneness so that we build Adamawa to become a respected state that the people are proud of; a state where people forgive each other.”
 
He called on Christians to spread love by extending a helping hand to the needy this Easter season in line with the excessive love exhibited by the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
   
The governor emphasised the importance of thanking God for the state’s progress and resilience.
 
He urged the residents to translate faith and prayers into action, highlighting that religious beliefs should be shown in how people live and work together. He reiterated the need for unity and warned against being divided.
