YOLA (SUNDIATA POST)- Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa has called on residents to uphold the spirit of peace and selflessness during the Easter festival.
Fintiri made the call in his Easter message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Humwashi Wonosikou, on Thursday in Yola.
“This is a special time, especially for Christians, when they remember the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
As we enter into the Easter season, let’s once again remember that it is a season for sacrificing ourselves, the same season that Jesus was sacrificed for the sake of mankind and peace,” he said.
Fintiri also admonished Christians to remember the saving grace of Jesus Christ, not forgetting the less fortunate in the society.
“Let us deliberately make it our responsibility to spread the love by extending a helping hand to the needy this Easter season in line with the excessive love that Jesus Christ exhibited by dying for mankind at the cross,” the governor said.
Fintiri, further implored residents to remain united with a long-term goal of maintaining peace in the State.
“May this Easter bring us all peace, joy and a renewal of our national unity,” he said (NAN)
