Gov. Ahmed Ododo of Kogi on Sunday urged the residents of the state to learn from Jesus Christ’s lessons in sacrifice, love, humility, forgiveness and renewal that help transform a society.
The governor made the call in his Easter message he signed and made available to newsmen in Lokoja.
Ododo said, “The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ teach us profound lessons in sacrifice, humility, forgiveness, and renewal.
“At a time when our State and nation continue to strive for greater unity, peace, and prosperity, Easter calls on us all to embrace these virtues in our daily lives.
“It challenges us to put the collective good above personal interests and to remain steadfast in our commitment to building a better society.
“Easter is a sacred season that reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice, love, and the triumph of hope over despair. It is a powerful message that no matter the trials we face, light will always prevail over darkness.”
He assured that his administration remains resolute in its promise to protect lives and property, strengthen our security architecture, and create an enabling environment for development to thrive.
The governor stressed that the government was inspired by the resilience of “Our people and encouraged by your continuous support and cooperation.
“Together, we will continue to consolidate on the gains we have made in security, infrastructure, healthcare, and economic growth.”
Ododo further urged the residents to use the Easter season as a time of reflection and renewed commitment to peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and unity across all divides.
He charged them to extend love to one another, support the less privileged, and work collectively towards a future of shared prosperity.
“While I wish all Christians Happy Easter celebration, I implore you all to pray for our dear state, our nation and our dear President
“May the joy, peace, and blessings of Christ fill your homes and hearts. May this season bring renewed strength, hope, and divine favour to our state and our nation,” he prayed. (ephemeralnews.com.ng)
