“As Christ gave his life on the cross to save mankind from eternal damnation, let us show love to one another. In our moments of merriment, let us remember the less privileged among us and extend to them, a hand of fellowship.

Easter calls for sober reflection. It is a moment to look back and chart a better path in our relationship with God and man.

” I urge us to spare time to pray for our country Nigeria, especially in its present trying moments, occasioned by debilitating economic challenges, ethnic strifes and spiraling insecurity. Let us also ask God to direct our leaders on the path of honesty and sincerity as the country inches into an election programme, next year.
