Nigeria’s peace, prosperity will be restored soon — Osinbajo

The Vice President and presidential aspirant under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has assured Nigerians that regardless of the present challenges at the moment,  Nigeria will be restored to peace and prosperous future.

His message of hope came as Christians in the country joined other faithful worldwide to celebrate Easter Sunday.

In a chat with journalists shortly after the Easter Sunday service at the State House Chapel, Aso Villa, Abuja, he affirmed that the greatest thing to bear in mind is resuscitation of hope.

He said: “My message is really a prayer. The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is a defining moment for us Christians. And one of the most important things to bear in mind is the resuscitation of hope.

“Where there is despair, I pray that hope would be restored, where there is fear, I pray that there is courage and confidence. Where there is deprivation, I pray that there is prosperity, and there is abundance.”

The Vice President added that “there may be things that appear dead but the power of the resurrection is one that assures us that life will come after death, so we are completely confident especially for our country that everywhere we suffer deprivation, there will be restoration, and that is the promise of the resurrection.”

A statement issued by his spokesman,  Laolu Akande, observes that Easter Sunday is celebrated worldwide by Christians to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 

It informed that the Vice President was joined at the Aso Villa Chapel for the service by his wife, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo,

Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha and Hon. Danjuma Shiddi both from Taraba State, and other senior officials in the presidency.
