The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, called on Nigerians to embrace love and selfless sacrifice during the Easter period. Speaking in Abuja on Friday, she delivered a message titled "Blessed Hope in Christ's Resurrection," urging Christians to reflect on the compassion and sacrifice demonstrated by Jesus Christ. She encouraged citizens to support vulnerable members of society as part of the Easter spirit.
"Easter is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the selfless sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the hope His resurrection brings to all humanity," Tinubu said. She urged families and communities to extend help to those in need during the celebration. "May the spirit of Easter inspire us to uplift the vulnerable, love one another, make sacrifices when necessary and work together to build a peaceful and prosperous nation for all," she added.
Oluremi Tinubu speaking on Easter is routine, not revelation. Her appeal for compassion does not address the rising cost of living that has pushed millions into poverty under her husband's administration. Words about helping the vulnerable mean little without policy action to reduce hardship. This message comforts the conscience but changes nothing on the ground.
