Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions, has extended Easter greetings to Christians in Lagos East Senatorial District and throughout Nigeria. In a statement released on Easter Sunday, Abiru emphasized the values of love, sacrifice, and hope tied to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He called for unity and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians, regardless of religious or ethnic backgrounds. "On this commemoration of life, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us be guided by His teachings and strive to live in peace and harmony with one another, as exemplified by Christ," Abiru said. He urged citizens of all faiths to pray for the nation and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration in its efforts toward national development. Abiru described the Easter season as a moment for renewed hope and collective resolve, encouraging Nigerians to actively contribute to nation building. "Let this Easter inspire renewed faith in our nation, strengthen our unity, and reinforce our shared commitment to building a better Nigeria," he added.
A senator sends seasonal greetings — again. Senator Abiru's call for unity and national development echoes words heard from many politicians at this time of year. Nigerians have heard similar appeals during Eid, Christmas, and Independence Day, often with little follow-up in policy or action. When such messages become routine, their impact fades, no matter how sincerely delivered.
