Easter: Governors Say Hardship Will End Soon

POSTED ON April 1, 2024 •   POLITICS      BY Benedicta Bassey
President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu

As Christain faithful all over the world celebrate Easter, Nigerian governors and senators have urged them to keep hope alive for a better nation, saying, hardship would soon be a thing of the past in the country.

In his Easter message, the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, called on the Christian community in the state and Nigeria to pray for Tinubu to succeed in administering the affairs of Nigeria.

Zulum’s Easter message was contained in a statement by his aide on New Media, Abdurrahman Bundi.

He said, “Let me, on this auspicious occasion, felicitate our Christian brothers and sisters in Borno and throughout the country. I urge us all in this solemn period to commit to prayers for the development and prosperity of our dear country and to our President Tinubu, for God’s guidance and wisdom to steer the affairs of Nigeria for greatness.”

Also, the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, urged Nigerians not to be discouraged by the economic downturn the nation was facing but to be hopeful of a better tomorrow.

This was contained in his Easter broadcast in Uyo on Sunday titled “He Arose that We may Arise.”

Eno said, “This is a season of trial and victory. Our nation and our state may be going through a period of trial and tribulation but as Christ overcame death with victory at His resurrection, we too, will overcome our economic challenges with growth and abundance. I ask for your continuous support, prayers, unity, and love amongst our people.

On his part, the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, urged Nigerians to be hopeful of a better tomorrow and to have faith in the country’s current leadership.

His Lagos State counterpart, Babajide Sanwo-Olu called on residents to be Christ-like by reducing the cost of commodities as the naira appreciates against the dollar.

He stated, “It’s beginning to turn around, that’s what we said a couple of weeks ago there’s nothing difficult that will last forever.

Also, the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, urged Deltans and other Nigerians to show love to one another and be willing to make sacrifices for the nation’s greater unity, peace, and progress.

Oborevwori, in his Easter message signed by his aide, Mr Festus Ahon, in Asaba on Sunday said, “As Christians, we must reflect on the importance of Easter celebrations in our dealings, not only with other Christians but with people of other faiths and convictions.’’

More so, the Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, called on the people of the state to use the period of the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to show more love to one another.

Likewise, the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, charged Christians not to lose hope amid hardship in the country.
