The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, and Deputy Speaker Hon. Benjamin Kalu, extended Easter greetings to Nigerian Christians on Saturday. They urged believers to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and embody love, humility, and forgiveness in their daily lives. Tajudeen emphasized the need for unity in a diverse nation, calling on citizens to work together for national development. Kalu encouraged prayers for Nigeria's leaders and the country's stability during challenging times. Both lawmakers stressed the importance of peace, moral renewal, and collective responsibility in shaping the nation's future.
Tajudeen and Kalu speaking on Easter is routine, not revelation. Their call for prayer and unity carries no policy weight or legislative action behind it. Nigerians hear appeals for moral renewal every holiday season, yet governance remains unchanged. Words without follow-through mean little in a country where political rhetoric rarely translates to results.
