Tinubu’s Easter speech: Nigeria will conquer its challenges like Christ conquered death
President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians not to lose hope as a result of the prevailing security challenges, assuring that just as Christ won over death, the country too shall overcome every challenge it’s facing.
The President also stated that the present moment may be cloudy, it will usher in a glorious day.
This was contained in his Easter message to Christians in Nigeria and the the global Christian community in commemoration of Easter, the celebration of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, which is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
He said he remained steadfast in his commitment to delivering the promise of a Renewed Hope, a better, more just, and prosperous Nigeria for all.
President Tinubu in the Easter message said: “The Holy Week, which spans Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday and Good Friday and culminates in Easter Sunday, calls us to reflect deeply on the enduring values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope.
“As President of our blessed nation, I draw inspiration from this timeless message of hope and renewal. I remain steadfast in my commitment to delivering the promise of a Renewed Hope, a better, more just, and prosperous Nigeria for all.
“The recent tragic incidents and the loss of lives in some parts of our country deeply saddened me. I understand the pain and fear these incidents have caused. Let me assure you that my administration’s resolve to restore peace and security remains unshakable.”
While appealing to Nigerians to remain steadfast in the face of the daunting security challenges,, he said: “Forces of evil will never prevail over our country. I have given clear directives to the Armed Forces and all relevant security agencies to end insecurity decisively and without delay.
“With the unwavering courage and commitment of our gallant men and women in uniform, we are turning the tide and making steady progress in reclaiming peace and stability.
*We are also grateful to all Nigerians for your patience and resilience as our economy begins to show encouraging signs of recovery. We understand the economic challenges many of you are facing, and we are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians.
“During this Easter, we join the global Christian community in thanking God for Pope Francis’s recovery. We pray that his renewed strength continues to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.
“I earnestly pray that Easter’s spirit fills every heart and home with renewed faith in the immense possibilities ahead of us as a nation.
“Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face. The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day.”
President Tinubu urged all Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress.
According to him: “The task before us is enormous, but together, with faith and determination, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Our unity and resilience are our greatest strengths.
“May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity.”
