” Easter serves as a joyful conclusion to the Lenten season of prayer, fasting and penitence.
“I pray that we see this period as one to renew hope and belief in our country. Let us draw inspiration from the message of Easter to unite as a people and strive towards a future where justice, equality, and prosperity prevail.”
“I implore everyone to reflect on the significance of sacrifice and service to others. As leaders in politics, let us prioritise the welfare of the people above personal interests and work tirelessly to uplift the marginalized and create opportunities for every Nigerian to thrive.
“While we formulate policies for the development of our dear nation, let empathy and compassion guide our decisions, ensuring that no one is left behind in our pursuit of national development.
Continuing, Chukwuma said,”It is my earnest prayer that this year’s Easter celebration will be a catalyst for fostering dialogue, understanding, and cooperation amongst Ndi Anambra.
“I am aware that by transcending partisan interests and embracing a spirit of collaboration, we can surmount the obstacles hindering our progress and build an Anambra that fulfils the aspirations of every citizen. Together, let us forge ahead with renewed determination, committed to building a state of peace, prosperity, and unity.
“On behalf of my family, I wish Ndi Anambra a memorable Easter celebration.”
