Gombe state governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has urged residents of the state to reflect on love and sacrifice as they celebrate Easter holiday.
In a goodwill message to Christians, Yahaya prayed for sustained peace and stability in Nigeria, emphasising the significance of unity, brotherhood, and service to God and humanity.
The Governor highlighted the significance of integrating the Easter values into their daily lives.
“I extend warm congratulations to our Christian brethren for completing the Lenten Season and celebrating Easter. We are grateful to the Almighty for granting you the strength to go through this significant spiritual journey. May the blessings of this period rejuvenate our nation and steer us towards lasting peace, progress, and prosperity,” he stated.
In addition, the governor expressed hopes that the country will overcome prevailing socio-economic and security challenges through collective effort and divine intervention.
However, he acknowledged the current distress faced by the nation amidst security threats and socio-economic strains, occasioned by the recent removal of fuel subsidies and global economic downturn.
“I urged citizens to find solace in the blessings of Easter and work towards sustainable peace and development.”
