Former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has urged Christians and other Nigerians to embrace the lessons of Christ’s resurrection and internalize its message of hope and victory amid the nation’s current challenges.
In his 2025 Easter message, Dr. Jonathan encouraged Nigerians to remain positive and draw strength from Christ’s love, His sacrificial death for humanity, and the gift of salvation.
He reminded leaders to be selfless and embrace the virtues of servanthood, sacrifice, and a passion for service, as exemplified by Jesus Christ.
The former President stated,
“I join millions of Christians around the world to commemorate Good Friday. This day reminds us of Christ’s sacrificial death for humanity and His gift of salvation and redemption to all believers. It also reminds Christians of servanthood and the passion for service, as exemplified by Jesus Christ, who died to save humanity from sin and reconcile all to God.
At Easter, we reflect on the power of Christ’s love, the gift of righteousness, and the triumph of hope over despair and every challenge in life. The death and resurrection of Christ on the Cross awaken us to the boundless love of God towards us—a reminder of the possibilities that faith in God offers us here on earth.
I urge all citizens to be encouraged by the story of Christ’s resurrection and the lessons of hope and victory it contains. Let us reflect on the purpose of salvation, the essence of mercy, and the triumphing power of faith and hope over all circumstances.”
He further urged citizens to remain optimistic about the potential within the nation and to draw strength from the belief that “we will triumph over the challenges we face, both individually and collectively, as a nation.”
Addressing the nation’s leaders, Dr. Jonathan added:
“This moment highlights the virtues of servanthood, sacrifice, and a passion for service. Let us recommit ourselves to the pursuit of peace and justice for all.”
He concluded,
“As a people, may this season renew our faith, strengthen our hope, and bring us peace. Let us continue to embody and uphold these virtues as we work toward building a nation founded on peace, unity, and love.”
