Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia North), has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Christian faithful, urging them to reflect on the values of love, sacrifice, and unity that define the Easter season.
In a message released to mark the 2025 Easter celebration, Kalu noted that Easter is a period of sober reflection and spiritual renewal, and it offers a unique opportunity for Christians to re-dedicate themselves to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
“Easter is not just a celebration; it is a deep reminder of the victory of light over darkness, hope over despair, and love over hate.
“The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith as Christians, and it teaches us that even in the face of trials and tribulations, there is hope for a better tomorrow,” he said.
He emphasised the importance of peaceful coexistence among Nigerians of all religious and ethnic backgrounds, pointing out that no nation can thrive in an atmosphere of division and intolerance.
According to him, Nigeria’s diversity remains its greatest strength, and leaders at all levels must rise above sentiments to foster unity and national development.
He also used the opportunity to call on Nigerians to pray for the country’s progress, particularly as the nation continues to grapple with economic and security challenges.
“As we celebrate Easter, I urge all Nigerians—regardless of religious or political affiliation—to pray for our dear country. We must come together to rebuild trust, strengthen institutions, and support policies that promote economic recovery, peace, and social justice. Our collective efforts are key to the Nigeria of our dreams,” he added.
