According to him, “This sacred season reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His triumphant resurrection, and the eternal hope it brings to humanity.”
He further urged citizens to renew their commitment to nation-building, adding, “As we commemorate the resurrection of our Lord, let us also renew our commitment to building a state and a nation where peace, justice, and brotherhood prevail.” He prayed that the joy and hope of Easter would fill homes, while calling for continued prayers for peace, prosperity, and divine guidance for Delta State and Nigeria.
The governor also encouraged residents to celebrate responsibly, show love to one another, and extend kindness to those in need. “I urge you all to celebrate responsibly, cherish moments with your loved ones, and extend kindness to those in need. Together, let us build a brighter and more prosperous future for all,” he said.
