 The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the
2023 general election, Peter Obi, has urged Christians to see the Easter
victory of Jesus Christ over death as a huge motivation that a new Nigeria is
possible.

 

Obi said that it is also a strong indication that Nigerians
will surmount the existing hardship and sing the great alleluia in the end.

 

Writing on his X handle, the former Anambra State governor
said, “I join the global community of Christians, especially Christians in
Nigeria, in celebrating Easter – the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“This great occasion brings to an end, the Christian Lenten
season of fasting, prayers, and almsgiving, and ushers us into the season of
glory and victory over death.

 

“For us in Nigeria, this very significant celebration holds
vital promises of victory over our present myriads of challenges, if we do not
despair.

“Our dear nation has continued to stagger under the heavy
weight of high insecurity, soaring hunger and poverty, ballooning debts,
galloping inflation, and mindless corruption that has pervaded every part of
our national existence.

 

“Just as Our Lord Jesus, who made very painful sacrifices
for the salvation of the world, which today we celebrate His glorious
resurrection, we all must continue to labour, in unity, for the good of our
nation, knowing that our labours will not be in vain.

“I, therefore, call on all Christians, in the spirit of
Easter, to continue to pray for God’s intervention in our dear nation, so that
even as we labour, as humans, for the sake of our nation, God will crown our
efforts with success, and make the New Nigeria even more possible, beyond our
human efforts.

 

“I wish everyone a very Happy Easter celebration.”
