President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on Nigerians to remain steadfast in hope and unity as the country navigates through economic and social challenges. In his Easter message to the nation, the president emphasized the enduring power of faith, resilience, and national solidarity.
Speaking from Aso Rock on Sunday, President Tinubu acknowledged the “difficult times” many Nigerians are facing but urged citizens not to lose sight of the nation’s potential for renewal and growth.
“Easter is a time of reflection, sacrifice, and, above all, hope. Just as the resurrection of Christ signifies triumph over despair, so too must we, as a people, continue to believe in the brighter future that lies ahead for our beloved country,” Tinubu said.
The president highlighted the symbolism of Easter, drawing parallels between the Christian celebration of resurrection and the country’s journey toward economic revival and national transformation. He called on citizens of all faiths to draw strength from the season’s message of renewal.
Tinubu also reassured Nigerians that his administration remains committed to implementing policies that will improve living standards, stimulate job creation, and ensure long-term stability.
“We are not blind to the struggles of everyday Nigerians. These are not ordinary times, but we are taking bold steps to address the root causes of our challenges. Hope is not a passive sentiment it is a call to action,” he added.
The Easter message comes amid rising inflation, concerns over security, and an ongoing debate around subsidy reforms and fiscal policy. Despite these hurdles, the president maintained a tone of optimism, calling for collective patience and patriotism.
Faith leaders, civic groups, and political observers have welcomed the president’s message, with many calling on the government to match its hopeful rhetoric with tangible outcomes.
As Christians across the nation mark the Easter festivities, President Tinubu urged citizens to reflect on the virtues of compassion, forgiveness, and unity.
“This is a season that calls us to love one another more deeply and to serve our communities with sincerity. Let us be each other’s keepers and work together to build a nation worthy of the sacrifices made by generations before us,” he said.
