The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has extended Easter greetings to Christians in Lagos and across Nigeria, urging them to embrace the lessons of hope, sacrifice, and renewal symbolised by the resurrection of Christ.
In an Easter message issued through his Chief Press Secretary, Dave Agboola, Obasa described the season as a powerful reminder of victory over despair and the triumph of light over darkness.
He noted that Nigeria’s current economic and security challenges, though daunting, are not insurmountable if citizens remain united, prayerful, and committed to national progress.
“Easter is a season of hope and renewal. As a nation, we face economic pressures and security concerns, but the resurrection teaches us that no situation is beyond redemption,” he said.
The Speaker called on Nigerians to “roll away the stones of division and despair” by promoting peace, justice, and collective responsibility in building a stronger society.
Addressing residents of Lagos, Obasa emphasised the importance of love, compassion, and mutual support, stressing that sustainable development can only be achieved through shared effort and unity.
He also prayed for renewed faith among citizens and wisdom for leaders, expressing optimism that the spirit of Easter would guide the nation toward a brighter and more prosperous future.
