(PRESS STATEMENT)
On behalf of the Northern Senators Forum, I am delighted to extend warm greetings to our Christian compatriots as they commemorate this year’s Easter celebration.
We express profound gratitude to the Almighty God for granting us another opportunity to celebrate this significant occasion.
The Easter celebration serves as a poignant reminder of the triumph of good over evil and life over death, as embodied in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This period calls for introspection, love, forgiveness, and compassion, underscoring the importance of nurturing our relationships with God and fellow human beings.
The Holy Scripture reminds us that true fulfillment in life stems not from material wealth but from cultivating meaningful spiritual and human connections.
As we celebrate Easter, we are encouraged to reflect on how to apply the teachings of Jesus Christ in our daily lives with renewed dedication.
By embracing the values of love, forgiveness, and compassion, we can collectively reject vices such as hate speech, bigotry, corruption, banditry, and terrorism.
By prioritizing the well-being and happiness of others, we can foster a more harmonious and tolerant society.
As we celebrate this Easter, let us strive to love our neighbors and demonstrate increased spirit of tolerance and accommodation.
By doing so, we can build a nation where everyone can live in peace and prosperity. I wish all Christians a joyous and blessed Easter celebration.
E-Signed:
Sen Abdulaziz Musa Yar’Adua
Chairman, Northern Senators Forum
