Special Adviser to Delta Governor on Community Development, Amb. Dr. Toyin Agbolayah JP, has called on Christians to pray fervently for socio-economic and political rejuvenation of Nigeria to stem insecurity, political and economic challenges plaguing the country.
Agbolayah made the call in Asaba on Saturday, in a message to Christians in the country on the celebration of Easter, noting that the resurrection of Jesus Christ, symbolised in Easter, remained a turning point in the lives of Christians.
The Special Adviser reminded the Christian faithful of the sacrifices of Jesus Christ for mankind, and urged them to return to God in full supplication for a rebirth of Nigeria.
According to him, the power of the resurrection provides opportunity for Christians to seek God for His intervention at this critical period in Nigeria when citizens were weighed down by unprecedented hardship.
He said that the period was a time for people to show love to one another, especially at the backdrop of the prevailing hardship occasioned by insecurity and economic challenges, and urged well-meaning Nigerians to render assistance, particularly to the downtrodden in the society.
The Special Adviser, seized the opportunity to praise Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his track records and urged well-meaning deltans to remain supportive of the MORE Agenda of the Governor.
“On behalf of my family, the Members and Staffs of the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Community Development, I congratulate Christians all over the world as they celebrate 2025 Easter.
“I call on Christian faithful to go to God in prayer to heal our country from insecurity and economic challenges.
“As Christians, we must reflect on the importance of Easter in our daily living, not only with other Christians, but with people of other religious beliefs.
“Let me urge Nigerians to extend the spiritual benefits of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, which include love, peace, justice, sacrifice and kindness, to one another, especially in these trying times.
“As Christians, it is incumbent on us to continue to uphold the principles of our faith as they relate to honesty, justice, integrity, accountability, compassion, selflessness and the pursuit of the common good for our nation.
“I also urge that as we celebrate the Easter, let us be vigilant and security conscious in our environment and report all suspicious movements to security agencies.
“May the lessons and blessings of Easter help us to overcome the challenges bedeviling our beloved country,’’ the Special Adviser stated.
