"Easter assuredly gives us the hope that despite the social, political, economic and security challenges facing us here and there, we are victorious by the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"Easter, therefore, is a time for us to rejoice and to actualize this invaluable grace given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ, by which we are empowered to live above the world and above the power over sin.
"We now have victory over the challenges of unemployment, and of youth restiveness as they are among issues already overcome by the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus has, therefore, given us this victory so that we can celebrate with hope and live our lives without regrets and without falling back into lives of uncertainty.
"We challenge every one of us; young and old, men and women, to always hold tight on our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us such hope and victory as well as the ability to stand firm in Him. We are not hopeless. We have hope for a better life ahead.
"May our risen Lord Jesus give us, Nigerians, this victory - give us such power and help us stand above situations and circumstances that will finally enable us to triumph, just as Jesus did in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, amen."
