Easter: Obi Speaks To Nigerians, Says Christ’s Victory Over Death Inspires Hope Of A New Nigeria

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general election, has urged Christians to view Jesus Christ’s Easter victory over death as a powerful reminder that a new Nigeria is possible.
Obi said in a press statement issued by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Chief Spokesperson, that it is also a strong indication that Nigerians will overcome current hardships and sing the great alleluia in the end.
The former Governor of Anambra State wrote on his X handle, “I join the global community of Christians, especially Christians in Nigeria, in celebrating Easter – the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
“This great occasion concludes the Christian Lenten season of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, ushering us into the season of glory and victory over death.
“For us in Nigeria, this very significant celebration holds vital promises of victory over our present myriads of challenges, if we do not despair.
“Our dear nation has continued to stagger under the heavy weight of high insecurity, soaring hunger and poverty, ballooning debts, galloping inflation, and mindless corruption that has pervaded every part of our national existence.
“Just as Our Lord Jesus made very painful sacrifices for the salvation of the world, which we celebrate today with His glorious resurrection, we must all continue to work together for the good of our nation, knowing that our efforts will not be in vain.
“I, therefore, call on all Christians, in the spirit of Easter, to continue to pray for God’s intervention in our dear nation, so that even as we labour as humans for the sake of our nation, God will crown our efforts with success and make the New Nigeria even more possible, beyond our human efforts.
“I wish everyone a wonderful Easter celebration.
