The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Nigerians to embrace the priceless values and virtues embodied in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
The APC urged Nigerians to embrace hope, patience, sacrifice, and resilience.
In a statement released on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC stated that the Easter celebration represents God’s everlasting victory over death and the triumph of light over darkness.
The statement read, “Easter, the joyful end of the Lenten season of fasting and penitence, is core to the Christian faith as it commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It symbolises God’s eternal triumph over death and the power of light over darkness.
“As we celebrate, we enjoin Nigerians to embrace hope, patience, sacrifice, and resilience, some of the priceless values and virtues immanent in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
“We join Christians in prayer that the transformative blessings of Easter abide with all Nigerians and strengthen President Bola Tinubu in his determination to tackle and overcome outstanding socio-economic challenges confronting our nation.
“May the worthy example of Christ inspire us to extend love and kindness to the needy and less privileged as we remain steadfast in prayer for peace, security, unity and sustained progress of our beloved nation.”
