In a statement by Tersoo Kula, his media aide, Alia described the festive period “as a feast and festival of triumph of faith over fear”.
“Easter is a feast and festival of triumph of faith over fear. It follows the holy season of Lent during which as Christians we fast, pray and spread the gospel of love.”He called on residents of the state to continue to imbibe the lessons of sacrifice, care for the needy, deep spiritual reflection and love for all humankind, irrespective of tribe, religion or sect.
“Jesus set a prime example of sacrifice that has continued to resonate with people of all races, class and creed through the ages. It is this type of self-sacrifice that we must make if we must move our dear state forward.“As a government, we recognize the difficulties our people now face in trying to live from day to day and make ends meet. But we must not falter. More than ever before, we must show resilience in weathering the storm of hardship and in a recessive economy.
