The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to use the symbolic sacrifice associated with the Easter celebration to help the vulnerable members in the society. Mrs Tinubu gave the advice during an Easter message she tagged “Blessed Hope in Christ’s Resurrection" in Abuja on Friday as Christians globally remember the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The first lady urged Christians to use the period to reflect the love and sacrifice that Jesus Christ portrayed while here on Earth when he paid the supreme price for their salvation.
She said, “Easter is a reminder of the enduring power of love and a selfless sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the hope his resurrection brings to all Christians.
‘As we celebrate Easter with our loved ones, friends, neighbours and communities, let us remember those in need and extend compassion and support whenever we can.
“May the spirit of Easter inspire us to uplift the vulnerable, love one another, make sacrifices when necessary and work together to build a peaceful and prosperous nation for all," the first lady concluded.
