Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), extended Easter greetings to Christians in Abuja, marking the end of the 40-day Lenten period and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He described the season as a time of "renewed hope" and urged residents to embrace love, service, and national unity. Wike called on FCT dwellers, particularly Christians, to reflect on Christ's teachings and foster peace within their communities.
He assured residents that the FCT Administration had put in place comprehensive security arrangements to ensure a peaceful Easter celebration. Families could celebrate without concern, he said, as measures were active across the capital. Wike also highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects in Abuja and its satellite towns, attributing them to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.
"I am proud to be part of this journey towards a more prosperous and harmonious FCT," Wike said, commending Tinubu's leadership. He encouraged residents to show "Christlike" compassion and work together for a peaceful, thriving capital territory.
Wike's Easter message doubles as a political showcase, turning a religious occasion into a platform for promoting Tinubu's infrastructure agenda. By linking road projects to resurrection-themed hope, he blurs governance and gospel in a way that benefits the administration's image. For residents, the real test remains daily security and service delivery—not seasonal assurances.
