Dr Betta Edu, former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, extended Easter greetings to Christians, urging reflection on the spiritual significance of the season. In a statement issued by her Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rasheed Olarenwaju, she described Easter as "a powerful reminder of hope, victory, and the reality of a new beginning for humanity." She emphasized the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, noting He was "innocent, yet persecuted and crucified," and stated that "evil thought it won, but it was all part of God's script and plan to save the world."
Edu encouraged believers to draw strength from Christ's sacrifice and to live with compassion, kindness, and steadfast faith. She wished Nigerians a joyful Easter filled with happiness, warmth, and lasting blessings. Her message highlighted the themes of redemption and divine purpose central to the Christian faith. The statement was released on Easter Sunday, though no specific event or gathering was mentioned.
