Usman Ododo, governor of Kogi, has felicitated with Christians in the state on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration.

In a statement by Ismaila Isha, the governor’s spokesperson, Ododo enjoined Christians to remain united and resilient in the face of the prevalent economic challenges. 

The governor said residents of the state should embrace the values of renewal and hope that will lead the country to a brighter future. 

“As we gather in families and communities across the state to celebrate Easter, let us dwell on the values of renewal, hope, and unity that define us as citizens of one state,” Ododo said. 

“Just as the resurrection of Jesus Christ symbolizes new beginnings and the triumph of light over darkness, let us embrace the opportunity to renew our commitment to building a brighter future for our beloved state as exemplified by the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR). 

“As we navigate the challenges of this time, let us remember the power of unity in overcoming our adversity. Let us stand together as one people, irrespective of our differences, and work hand in hand towards a shared vision of progress and prosperity for the people of our dear state. 

“There is a need for us to embrace compassion, forgiveness, and new beginnings that underpin the celebration of Easter which is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. Hence, as Kogites, we must learn to be resilient and persevere even in the face of difficulties. Together, we shall prevail.”
