“Easter reminds us of the triumph of light over darkness, hope over despair, and love over hate. It is a sacred period that calls for reflection, reconciliation, and a renewed commitment to peaceful coexistence,” she stated.

The lawmaker also used the occasion to call on eligible citizens to actively participate in the ongoing Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) revalidation exercise, stressing its importance in strengthening democratic processes.
“This is not just a civic duty but a powerful tool for shaping our collective future. I strongly encourage all eligible voters to come out en masse and revalidate their voter’s cards, whether through online platforms or physical centres,” she said.
She further noted that increased voter participation would ensure that the voices of the people are heard and reflected in governance.
“Your vote is your voice. By participating in the revalidation process, you are securing your right to decide the leadership and direction of our state and nation,” the Senator remarked.
She concluded her message by wishing all Christians a peaceful and joyous Easter celebration, praying that the season brings renewed hope, blessings, and progress to every household.
“May this Easter fill our hearts with faith, our homes with joy, and our land with peace,” she said.
