Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has congratulated Christians worldwide on Easter, celebrating Christ’s redemptive sacrifice and triumph over sin and death.
In his Easter message, he described the season as the cornerstone of Christian faith, centred on Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, death, and resurrection.
“Each Easter offers us a sacred opportunity to reflect on the foundation of our Christian faith—the death, burial, and glorious resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is a time for renewal, deep introspection, and unwavering hope,” Mutfwang stated.
He urged Christians to remember Christ’s sacrifice, saying, “Let us never forget the immeasurable price paid on the Cross of Calvary, where Christ bore our sins and suffered so we might receive forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. His resurrection assures us of victory over sin, despair, and every adversity.”
Mutfwang encouraged believers to embrace Easter’s spirit with hope, praying for the Holy Spirit to reveal the resurrection’s power. “This season would inspire believers to live righteously, love unconditionally, and serve others selflessly,” he said, commending those who observed Lent for their dedication to prayer and reflection.
Additionally, he called for prayers for leaders, struggling communities, and Plateau State. “I remain confident that by God’s grace and mercy, we shall overcome every challenge before us. Let us, therefore, pursue peace with all people and work in unity to confront the issues facing us,” he declared.
Mutfwang urged unity, stating, “This is the time to rise above our differences and draw strength from our diversity in Christ. Together, let us rebuild and reclaim Plateau, a land of peace, promise, and great potential.”
