By our reporter| Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), on Sunday, assured Nigerians of the restoration of peace and a more prosperous future for all regardless of current challenges.
According to a statement by his senior special assistant on media & publicity, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo stated this while chatting with journalists shortly after the Easter Sunday service at the State House Chapel, Aso Villa, Abuja.
“My message is really a prayer. The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is a defining moment for us Christians. And one of the most important things to bear in mind is the resuscitation of hope,” he was quoted to have said.
“Where there is despair, I pray that hope would be restored, where there is fear, I pray that there is courage and confidence. Where there is deprivation, I pray that there is prosperity, and there is abundance.”
The Vice President added that “there may be things that appear dead but the power of the resurrection is one that assures us that life will come after death, so we are completely confident especially for our country that everywhere we suffer deprivation, there will be restoration, and that is the promise of the resurrection.”
The VP and his wife, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo were joined at the Aso Villa Chapel for the service by Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha and Hon. Danjuma Shiddi both from Taraba State, and other senior officials in the presidency.
Easter Sunday is celebrated worldwide by Christians to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
