As Christians all over the world prepare to mark the 2022 Easter celebration, the Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Yusuf Ibrahim Zailani has tasked them to embrace the virtues of Jesus Christ which are, peace, humility, love and sacrifice.

Zailani expressed this in a message to Christian Faithful in Kaduna and the country, in a statement signed by his SA Media and Publicity, Honourable Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani, dated April 15.

"Easter symbolises sacrifice and love as exemplified by Jesus Christ, who preached and practiced same even till he was crucified.

"Today being Good Friday, is a remarkable date in history, signifying the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.

"As Easter Sunday which is celebrated by all Christian Faithful approaches, I implore all Christians to be reminded of the ultimate sacrifice and be guided by same," he said.

The Speaker who lamented the spate of insecurity in the country, urged Christians to use the period to solemnly pray to God that the security challenges become a thing of the past.

He also called for prayers for the country's leaders, as well as the economic prosperity of Nigeria.

"We are blessed to have Easter and Ramadan fall within the same period this year. I believe it is a sign of good things to come.

"I wish you all a pleasant Easter celebration and prosperity for our dear nation," he prayed.

Peace and unity
