April 17, (THEWILL) – A member of the National Assembly representing Lagos Central Senatorial District in Lagos State, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to emulate Jesus Christ’s sacrificial lifestyle.
She made the call in an Easter message issued on Friday.
“This is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ, and the promise of hope and glory in him. It is a reminder of the renewal and victory we have in Jesus: God’s ability to supernaturally turn things around, transform hopelessness into hope, give abundant joy and make a way where there appears to be none.
“It may seem like there is not much to celebrate because the world, not just Nigeria, is faced with so much unrest, insecurity, rising cost of goods and services, higher inflation rates, among others. In spite of it all, we must continue to do our best to arrest the situation, upholding justice and fairness, while praying for God’s intervention in all our affairs.
“In addition, we must not lose sight of the things that are working well in our favour, build on the positive and safeguard our commonwealth.
“Jesus, through his life exemplified giving of oneself, sacrificial service and consideration for others. As individuals, we must find opportunities daily to extend the compassion, kindness and brotherliness that Jesus teaches to the people around us.”
She therefore wished Nigerians “a happy Easter, renewed hope, and the blessings of the resurrection.”
