Most Distinguish Senator Peter Nwaoboshi has extended warm Easter greetings to Christians across the country and also urges them to emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ, who in spite of his heavenly endowments, took up the cross to redeem mankind.
Nwaoboshi made the call in an Easter Goodwill Message contained in a statement by his media aide, Comrade Ike Philip Abiagom, in Asaba. He said that the country, as a community, would be a better place if adherents of Christianity imbibed the spirit of love, peace and sacrifice, which were the virtues epitomised in Christ.
He said that Nigeria was in a critical period, plagued by varying challenges and uncertainties, and charged Christians to use the solemnity of Easter to go in full supplications to God for His intervention.
According to Nwaoboshi, Nigeria, as arranged by God, is a great country, but has been weighed down by leadership challenges, which reflect sorely in the socio-economic indices and poor conditions of citizens.
“I am, however, confident that with everyone returning to, and remaining with God, He will redeem the country and restore its greatness.
“I, therefore, call on Nigerians to eschew bitterness and divisive vices, and embrace the virtues of Jesus Christ to return the country to the path of glory,” he said.
“Easter is the reason why we are called Christians. But, Christianity places a demand on all of us – the responsibility to look out for each other and be our brother’s keepers.
“On behalf of the family and people of Delta North, I congratulate all Christians all over the world on the 2025 Easter celebrations.
“It is my prayer that the spiritual benefits of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will continue to resonate in our lives and homes.
