By: Michael Mike

Senator Ifeanyi Araraume has called on Nigerians to embrace sacrifice, forgiveness, and renewed hope as Christians across the country celebrate Easter.

In a message to mark the occasion, Araraume described Easter as a powerful reminder that adversity is temporary and that brighter days lie ahead. He said the resurrection of Jesus Christ symbolises victory over hardship and offers a message of hope for Nigeria’s future.

According to him, “Easter is not merely a festival; it is a spiritual declaration that darkness does not have the final word. As Christ rose triumphantly on the third day, I believe Nigeria, too, is rising from every challenge to meet her God-ordained destiny.”

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress also offered prayers for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing him as a courageous leader navigating the country through difficult but necessary reforms.

Araraume prayed for divine wisdom, strength, and protection for the President, expressing hope that his efforts would yield lasting benefits for future generations.

He further commended Tinubu’s reform agenda, noting that although current policies may require sacrifices from citizens, they are essential for achieving long-term peace, stability, and shared prosperity.

“These are not easy times, but great nations are forged in the furnace of difficult decisions. I urge all Nigerians, irrespective of political or religious differences, to support the administration with patience and prayers,” he said.

The former Imo governorship candidate also encouraged citizens to demonstrate love and compassion, particularly towards the less privileged, grieving, and displaced persons. He stressed that the true essence of Easter lies in selfless giving and unity.

Araraume wished Christians a peaceful, joyful, and spiritually fulfilling Easter celebration.
