Aare (Dr) Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, National Chairman of the Action Alliance (AA), extended Easter greetings to Christians across Nigeria in a statement released on Sunday. He urged them to embody the selfless love and sacrifice demonstrated by Jesus Christ, applying those values to national development. Omoaje emphasized that individual commitment to truth, justice, and service could contribute meaningfully to Nigeria's growth. His message called for unity and moral responsibility during the Easter period and beyond. The appeal was made from Kaduna, where the chairman is based.
Omoaje's call for sacrifice mirrors a recurring public expectation that moral appeals can substitute for systemic reform. While he cites Jesus's example, the real test lies in how leaders like him translate such values into policy or accountability. Nigerians have heard many sermons; they need fewer homilies and more action from those in power.
