Minister of Works David Umahi used his Easter message to urge Nigerians to embrace hope, unity, and dedication to national development. Speaking from Abakaliki, he described the Easter season as a sacred time that reflects sacrifice, renewal, and the victory of light over darkness. Umahi emphasized the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a source of inspiration for personal and national transformation. He called on citizens to reflect on the values of love, peace, and selflessness during the festive period. The Minister said these virtues are essential for overcoming the country's current challenges and building a more cohesive society. His message was delivered on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2025.
David Umahi's Easter appeal for unity carries weight given his dual role as a federal minister and former governor of Ebonyi State. His emphasis on renewal and sacrifice reflects a political figure attempting to frame national challenges through moral and spiritual lenses. For Nigerians grappling with economic hardship and social divisions, such messages may offer symbolic comfort but do not alter the reality of policy outcomes. Spiritual calls for unity alone cannot substitute for actionable governance.
