Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has told Nigerians to regard the difficulties they face as something that will not only pass but lead to desired ends.
In a message of goodwill and best wishes to Christians as they celebrate Easter, Governor Fintiri urged residents to take the opportunity the Easter season presents to reflect on the suffering and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ which signifies that even suffering has to come to an end.
“As we enter into this Easter Season, let’s remember that it is a season for sacrificing ourselves, the same season that Jesus was sacrificed for the sake of our sins and peace. He died for our healing and not for destruction,” Fintiri stated.
In the message released on Thursday evening by his Chief Press Secretary, Humwashi Wonosikou, Governor Fintiri prayed that citizens continue with unity and oneness “so that we build Adamawa to become a respected state that the people are proud of.”
Fintiri urged Christians to spread love by extending a helping hand to the needy this Easter season in line with the love exhibited by the Lord Jesus Christ at the cross.
He encouraged all to translate faith and prayers into action, highlighting that religious beliefs should be shown in how people live and work together.
While wishing Christians happy Easter celebrations, the governor emphasised that if people want to stand out, it should be through their actions and the benefits others gain from them.
“May this Easter bring you blessings, peace and joy,” Fintiri prayed.
