The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Nigerians to embrace peace, unity, and renewed hope as Christians across the country and in the diaspora celebrate Easter, stressing the need for collective commitment to national progress.
The call was contained in a press statement issued on April 5, 2026, by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka on behalf of the party.
In the statement, the ruling party described Easter as a sacred occasion that symbolizes the triumph of life over death and light over darkness, urging Nigerians to reflect on its deeper spiritual significance.
“Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ and signifies the triumph of life over death, the power of light over darkness,” the APC stated, noting that the season reflects “God’s boundless love, mercy, forgiveness, redemption and rekindled hope for new beginnings.”
The party urged citizens to use the period to foster unity and strengthen national cohesion.
“As we mark this sacred occasion, our great Party urges Nigerians to embrace peace, love, tolerance as one people united by a shared vision of a stronger and more prosperous nation,” the statement said.
The APC also called on political, religious, and community leaders to take advantage of the Easter season to recommit themselves to the promotion of peace and the common good.
“Easter also provides an occasion for reflection by political, religious and temporal leaders and to rededicate themselves to the promotion of peace, harmony, national cohesion and advancement of the common good of all Nigerians,” it added.
Expressing optimism about the nation’s future, the party prayed for divine guidance and strength for both leaders and citizens to overcome prevailing challenges.
“It is our prayer that the Risen Christ fills our hearts with love, peace, understanding and strength for our leaders and nation to triumph over our existential challenges,” the statement noted.
The APC concluded by wishing Christians and all Nigerians a joyful Easter celebration filled with blessings and renewed hope.
