On Saturday, the Labour Party (LP) said Nigerians, irrespective of the position they occupy, have the responsibility to contribute to fixing the country.
The Interim National Chairman, Senator Esther Nenadi Usman, in a goodwill message to Nigerian Christians to commemorate this year’s Easter celebration, said that while those in positions of authority should intensify efforts toward alleviating the suffering of the Nigerian people, the citizens should not lose hope.
“Just as the disciples held firmly to the promise of Christ’s resurrection, so too must we remain steadfast in our belief in a better tomorrow for our nation,” she preached.
Senator Usman noted that this pivotal moment in the nation’s history is an opportunity for Nigerians to “Thoughtfully examine the condition of our country and the part each of us must play in shaping a more united and just society.
“Whether in positions of authority or as everyday citizens, we all bear a shared responsibility to make meaningful contributions to Nigeria’s advancement.”
According to her, while the people rightfully expect vision and direction from those in leadership, “we must equally remain committed to our personal responsibilities of upholding the values of integrity, diligence, and patriotism in all that we do.”
She added that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a powerful testament that no matter how difficult or overwhelming the circumstances may appear, faith and resilience will always lead us to triumph.
“It is in this spirit that I urge all Nigerians to embrace the enduring lessons of Easter, particularly the virtues of forgiveness, hope, and steadfast faith,” she pleaded.
