The Christian Faith Reporters Association (CFRA) has urged Nigerians to embrace peace, justice, and national unity during the Easter season. In a message released on April 7, 2024, CFRA President Adeola Ogunlade emphasized the values of sacrifice, hope, redemption, and triumph central to the occasion. He called on leaders and citizens to reflect on the nation's growing insecurity and work collectively toward lasting solutions. The association stressed that Easter should inspire genuine change, not just symbolic gestures. Ogunlade said the current state of the country demands honesty, compassion, and accountability from all sides.
Adeola Ogunlade speaking on behalf of CFRA highlights a familiar cycle—moral appeals during holidays amid unrelenting national crises. His call for justice and peace comes while kidnappings and killings persist with little state response. Nigerians have heard such messages before, often without follow-through from those in power. A statement at Easter does not shift policy or protect lives.
