Abuja, Nigeria — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended warm Easter greetings to Christians across Nigeria and around the world, calling for reflection on the core values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope that define the season.
In a statement released by the State House on Easter Sunday, the President described the commemoration of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the “cornerstone of the Christian faith” and urged Nigerians to draw inspiration from its enduring message.
“As President of our blessed nation,” Tinubu said, “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 President also addressed recent tragic incidents in various parts of the country, acknowledging the pain and fear they have caused. He reassured citizens of his administration’s firm resolve to restore peace and end insecurity.
“I have given clear directives to the Armed Forces and all relevant security agencies to end insecurity decisively and without delay,” he stated. “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.”
Tinubu expressed appreciation for Nigerians’ patience amid current economic challenges, noting that the country is beginning to see signs of economic 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.
On the global stage, the President joined the international Christian community in expressing gratitude for the recovery of Pope Francis, praying that the pontiff’s renewed strength would continue to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.
Concluding his Easter message, President Tinubu called for unity and resilience among Nigerians, stressing that the nation would overcome its challenges just as Christ triumphed over death.
“The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day,” he declared. “I urge all Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress.”
“May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity. Happy Easter to all my fellow Nigerians.”
