Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday told Nigerians not to be discouraged as he prayed for everything that appears dead in the country to receive life and restoration.
Professor Osinbajo added while speaking with state house correspondents after the Easter Sunday service at the State House Chapel, Aso Villa, Abuja that Nigerians should not despair but should hope for a better tomorrow just as Easter has taught humanity.
He stated that the country will surely overcome any challenges it may be facing as there is light at the end of what presently seems like a dark tunnel.
The Vice President emphasized the significance of Easter Celebration, saying just like the resurrection of Jesus Christ restored hope, there is the confidence that Nigeria will receive restoration in every area the country is suffering deprivation.
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.
“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.”
