President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended warm Easter greetings to Christians in Nigeria and around the world, calling on citizens to embrace the values of sacrifice, love, and hope that define the season.
In his Easter message released by the State House, Tinubu said the celebration of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection should inspire reflection and unity among Nigerians. He described Easter as the cornerstone of the Christian faith and a time to renew collective faith in Nigeria’s future.
“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,” Tinubu said.
Addressing recent security challenges and the tragic loss of lives in some parts of the country, the President assured Nigerians that his administration remains fully committed to restoring peace and stability.
“I understand the pain and fear these incidents have caused. Let me assure you that my administration’s resolve to restore peace and security remains unshakable. Forces of evil will never prevail over our country,” Tinubu stated.
He added that he had issued clear directives to the Armed Forces and all relevant security agencies to address insecurity decisively, praising the efforts of the nation’s military and security operatives for their bravery and progress in stabilising affected regions.
On the economic front, the President acknowledged the ongoing hardships many Nigerians are facing but expressed optimism about signs of recovery.
“We are grateful to all Nigerians for your patience and resilience as our economy begins to show encouraging signs of recovery. We are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians,” he said.
The President also extended prayers for the recovery of Pope Francis, expressing gratitude to God for the pontiff’s improved health.
“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,” he said.
Tinubu concluded his message with a call for unity, hope, and resilience, urging citizens to remain steadfast as the country pushes through its current challenges. “May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity. Happy Easter to all my fellow Nigerians,” the message read.
