I extend my warmest greetings to all Nigerians, particularly our Christian brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the joyous occasion of Easter.

Easter serves as a profound reminder of the triumph of justice over oppression, light over darkness, and hope over despair.

It is a season that calls for deep reflection on the virtues of sacrifice, resilience, and the ultimate restoration of what is right.

As we celebrate, let us draw inspiration from the lessons of Easter to build a more harmonious nation.

Let us treat one another with the same empathy and fairness that we seek from our institutions.

May this period bring a resurrection of transparency in our public offices and a renewed sense of patriotism in our hearts.

Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done."

Wishing you all a peaceful, reflective, and Happy Easter celebration.
