“Let us reach out to our fellow citizens with kindness, understanding, and empathy, especially during these challenging times, while we await the gains of the government’s bold reforms and initiatives.

Let us renew our patriotism and our commitment to building a stronger, more prosperous, and more united Nigeria.”

“May this Easter bring us all abundant blessings, peace, and happiness. May it inspire us to strive for excellence and to foster harmony in our communities,” the forum said.

The forum also commended the courage of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the National Assembly, led by Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio, for their efforts in national development.
