Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has called on the people of Anambra and Nigerians generally to use the period of Easter to show love and affection to one another.
In a statement on Saturday by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Prof Soludo noted that the significance of Easter celebration calls for self-introspection and a renewed commitment in enthroning a better society where love, tolerance, forgiveness, peace and unity will continue to reign.
He stressed that Easter is an important event in the Christendom. “By His death, Christ offered Himself as sacrificial lamb for the sins of the world. By His resurrection, He redeemed mankind and strengthened our faith in everlasting life,” he said.

While noting that it is a season of discipline and sacrifice, the governor urged the people to celebrate with modesty and to remember the less privileged among them.
The governor, therefore, urged the people to imbibe the virtues of forbearance, forgiveness, kindness, humility, love, peace and patience as demonstrated by Jesus Christ in offering Himself for cruxifixion.
Soludo further enjoined the people to share love and joy this Easter and beyond, and also solicited for support from Anambra residents towards actualising the lofty vision of building a liveable and prosperous homeland for all.
