On the occasion of this year’s Easter, President Bola Tinubu has commended Nigerians for their patience in the last few months while his administration worked to steer the nation on the path of economic recovery and sustainable growth.
He says their sacrifices are beginning to pay off.
But he wants them to continue, in the spirit of the season, yielding themselves to selflessness and compassion and remaining steadfast in seeking a united, peaceful and prosperous nation.
Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a similar message, appreciated Lagosians for their patience and understanding while Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, called for more prayers and supplications for the country and the state amid the current economic situation.
Tinubu, drawing inspiration from the significance of Easter, which is the triumph of life over death, assured citizens that Nigeria would triumph over its current challenges.
The administration, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale stressed, is devoted to achieving this purpose.
He said: “President Bola Tinubu joins the Christian faithful to commemorate Easter, a significant moment and a glorious celebration of the triumph of life over death.
“The President warmly greets Christians in Nigeria and around the world on this occasion, emphasising love, sacrifice and compassion as the patent themes of this solemn season.
“President Tinubu notes that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for humanity is an emphatic lesson for leaders and all Nigerians to yield to selflessness and compassion, and be steadfast in the pursuit of a united, peaceful, and prosperous nation.
“The President strongly commends Nigerians for the sacrifices they have made in the past few months for the nation to be steered to the path of recovery and sustainable growth, assuring them that the seeds of patience, which they have sown, are beginning to sprout and will in no time bring forth an abundance of good fruits.
“As Christians celebrate the victory of life over death as exemplified by the resurrection of Christ, President Tinubu assures all citizens that Nigeria will triumph over its challenges as his administration remains firmly committed to this end.”
