The immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has greeted Christians in Kogi State and Nigeria as a whole on this year’s Easter celebration, urging them to be guided by the lessons of love, sacrifice, peace, and unity.
The felicitation by Bello was contained in a goodwill message, signed by the Director of his Media Office, Ohiare Michael, on Saturday.
Former Governor Bello congratulated the Christian faithful on the completion of the 40-day lenten period, saying their prayers, during the period and beyond, would aid the continued actualisation of the laudable goals of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
He emphasised the significance of the season, noting that the lessons “transcend religious and cultural boundaries and serve as the bedrock of harmonious coexistence”.
He specifically commended the harmonious relationship between Christians in Kogi State and adherents of other faiths, and urged Kogites to continue to support the administration of his successor, Governor Usman Ododo, in delivering the dividends of democracy to everyone, irrespective of religion or ethnicity.
The former governor, who is widely commended for the legacy of promoting interfaith harmony and inclusivity during his tenure, exemplified by the construction of a chapel in the Kogi State Government House, urged all Christians to be guided by the timeless values of peace, compassion, and unity preached by the season.

“We must first recognise this as the administration consolidates on the gains and strives to achieve every aspect of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“I wish all Christians a joyous Easter celebration and pray for lasting peace and progress in our dear nation.”
