Osinbajo prays for restoration, prosperity in Nigeria as Christians celebrate Easter Sunday

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, as Christians in Nigeria join other faithful worldwide to celebrate Easter Sunday.

Prof. Osinbajo after the Easter Sunday service at the State House Chapel, State House, Abuja, said: “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.

“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.”

Easter Sunday is celebrated worldwide by Christians to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Joining the VP and his wife, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo at the Aso Villa Chapel for the service were Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha and Hon. Danjuma Shiddi both from Taraba State, and other senior officials in the presidency.
