“We must therefore seize the opportunity of the Easter holiday to reflect deeply on what more we need to do as a people, to ensure that the economic stability and security in which we currently engage as a people in is successfully concluded while our beloved country continues to move towards a better future for all of its citizens by praying and having firm belief in our leaders at all tiers of government to bring about the expected and deserved positive changes,” he added.

Hon Tiamy however, urged all Nigerians to follow the lessons of Easter and other injunctions on brotherly love, peaceful co-existence, tolerance, honesty, humility, justice, equity and fairness to all without discrimination as contained in the Gospels are of particular importance to us as a nation as we continue to contend with the challenges of nation-building and development.
