Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, CFR, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the Board of the National Credit Guarantee Company Limited (NCGC), has sent warm Easter wishes to Christians across Nigeria and beyond, urging them to embrace the season’s message of renewal, sacrifice, and hope.

Dogara described Easter as the most profound celebration in Christianity, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ — the foundation of the Christian faith. He noted that the resurrection is a powerful testimony that despair can be overcome by hope, hatred by love, and division by unity.

“Easter is a reminder that no matter the trials we face, victory is assured through faith. It is a season to renew our commitment to love, service, and unity,” Dogara said. He stressed that the lessons of Easter are particularly relevant in today’s world, where communities and nations are confronted by divisions, conflicts, and uncertainty.

He further explained that Easter is not only a spiritual commemoration but also a call to action. “The resurrection of Christ challenges us to rise above bitterness and strife, to extend hands of fellowship, and to work together for peace and prosperity,” he stated.

Dogara emphasized that the values of sacrifice, redemption, and renewal — central to Easter — are also the values that build strong societies. He urged Nigerians to draw inspiration from the season to strengthen bonds of brotherhood, promote justice, and ensure inclusive progress.

On behalf of his family and the NCGC, Dogara wished all Christian faithful a joyous Easter celebration filled with peace, blessings, and renewed strength. He prayed that the season would inspire believers to live as beacons of hope and uphold the virtues of love and service.

Happy Easter!
