Easter Is More Than Just A Holiday, Says John Akinmurele
The Candidate of the Young Progressive Party, YPP in last year’s gubernatorial election, Mr John Akinmurele has urged Nigerians to see the Easter Period than more than a holiday but a time to reflect and move closer to God.
‘Easter is a sacred reminder of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ made for humanity—laying down His life for our redemption, hope and a future. His resurrection is a powerful symbol of victory and a call for us to rise above hate, division, and bitterness.
‘As Nigerians, this season should challenge us to continually embrace unity, compassion, and responsibility. It reminds us that true leadership and citizenship are rooted in selflessness and love for others.
‘Just as Christ gave Himself for the good of all, we too must be willing to make sacrifices for the growth of our nation. We must resist the temptation to compromise our values for financial gain or personal advantage. Nigeria’s future depends on our integrity, our courage to do what is right, and our shared commitment to building a better tomorrow. May the power of Christ’s resurrection renew our strength and ignite our determination to serve, protect, and develop our great nation. Happy Easter to you and your family.
