Easter: FG Reaffirms Commitment to Lasting Democracy

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, has reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to delivering lasting dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

Oyetola made this statement in an Easter message signed on Saturday in Abuja by Dr Bolaji Akinola, Media and Communications Adviser to the minister.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Easter is a Christian celebration that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, following the 40-day period of fasting and prayer known as Lent.

In his message, Oyetola stated that Easter should remind Nigerians that after darkness comes light, and after sacrifices, victory follows.

“Easter is a season of deep spiritual significance, a time for sacrifice, renewal, and reaffirmation of hope in the face of trials.

“It is a time to reflect on the values of love, selflessness, and unshakable faith; values that should guide our individual lives, our communities, and our state as a whole,” Oyetola said.

He commended Nigerians for their resilience and unyielding spirit in the face of challenges.

According to him, the administration of President Bola Tinubu remains committed to delivering lasting dividends of democracy through bold economic reforms and inclusive governance.

Oyetola reassured citizens of the government’s commitment to development and welfare, urging them to remain steadfast in faith, hopeful for a better tomorrow, and united in the pursuit of collective progress.

He prayed for peace, progress, and divine grace upon Nigerians, as well as healing for those hurting, strength for the weary, and renewed hope for every home.
