Easter Message: Do Not Despair in Face of Tribulation – Obi Urges Youths

Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate has urged youths not to despair in the face of the many challenges and tribulations Nigeria faces as a country.

In his goodwill message in celebration of Easter on Saturday, the former Anambra State Governor reminded Christians and Muslims who are into the Ramadan fasting period that they were united as brothers and sisters and also in the mutual trust in the mercies and infinite benevolence of God Almighty.

The statement reads; ‘On the occasion of Easter, the celebration of the risen Christ, l wish all Christians a happy celebration and pray that the message and blessings of the resurrection will remain with us.

To our Muslim brothers and sisters who are well into the Ramadan fasting period, which will culminate in the Eid El Fitr, my special greetings and prayers are with you as we look forward to a joyous celebration.

Given that we are all united as brothers and sisters, and in our trust in the mercies and infinite benevolence of God Almighty, I urge all Nigerians, particularly the youths not to despair in the face of many challenges and tribulations that we are facing as a country.

We continue to thank God for all His blessings on Nigeria and pray for a better and New Nigeria, where equity, fairness, peace, unity, accountable leadership, and prosperity shall reign.’
