Former Secretary to the Delta State Government,Comrade Chief Ovouzorie Macaulay, the Okiroro of Isokoland has urged Christians to imbibe the lessons of sacrifice, love and peace that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ signifies.
Giving the advice in his Easter message to Christians, Macaulay charged Nigerians to act in faith towards God and fellow citizens, and be confident that the nation will overcome its current challenges.
Extending his best wishes to Christians and others around the world as they celebrate this year’s Easter, he noted that, “Easter teaches hope, forgiveness and love” and urged Nigerians to “pursue peace at all times and work towards resolving our common challenges.”
He said; “This is a period of sober reflection for politicians to emulate Christ and eschew politics of bitterness, bringing one another down and embrace peace as they focus on agendas that would bring development to the country irrespective of our political beliefs.
“Let us act in faith towards God and our fellow citizens. Ours is a victorious heritage; this is the fate of our nation and ourselves. This is the assurance of Easter.”
