Nigeria’s Present Moment May Be Cloudy, But Glorious Day Is Ahead— Tinubu Says In Easter Message
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed delight with Christians in Nigeria and worldwide over the commemoration of Easter, the celebration of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.
The President who said the Easter feat is a call to reflect deeply on the enduring values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope, reiterated his commitment to delivering the promise of a Renewed Hope, a better, more just, and prosperous Nigeria for all.
In a statement personally signed by him and issued on Friday, President Tinubu said the Nigeria’s present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day.
He added, “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. 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.
“I urge all Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress. 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.”
