First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Nigerians to reflect the spirit of Easter by supporting vulnerable members of society. She made the appeal in Abuja on Friday through an Easter message titled "Blessed Hope in Christ's Resurrection," issued as Christians worldwide marked the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Tinubu described the Easter period as a time for compassion, urging citizens to emulate Christ's sacrifice through acts of kindness. She emphasized that helping the less privileged should not be limited to the festive season but sustained throughout the year. The First Lady encouraged families, communities, and religious groups to open their hearts to those in need.
Oluremi Tinubu speaking on charity during Easter is expected, but her call does not address the scale of poverty deepening under the current economic policies. Millions of Nigerians face hunger and hardship, and moral appeals alone won't refill empty markets or wallets. Without policy action, such messages risk sounding hollow, no matter how well-intentioned.
