The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, His Grace Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama, has reminded Nigerians that they can reclaim their country from the clutches of terrorists and other oppressors.
In his Easter message which was made available to journalists in Abuja on Saturday, the Archbishop emphasised the importance of hope, faith, and perseverance in the face of challenges.
He said, “No doubt, from Boko Haram to banditry and kidnapping, to the threat of violence and terrorism, the stories are both heart-breaking and fear-inspiring just as the terrible events of Good Friday were over two thousand years ago.
“But Easter reminds us that even in the face of violence and persecution, love and compassion can triumph.

He said, “No doubt, from Boko Haram to banditry and kidnapping, to the threat of violence and terrorism, the stories are both heart-breaking and fear-inspiring just as the terrible events of Good Friday were over two thousand years ago.
“But Easter reminds us that even in the face of violence and persecution, love and compassion can triumph.
“With those same virtues, we can reclaim our country and make it a better place.
“But first, we must once again learn to stand together as a nation and genuinely work towards peace and unity. We must not allow ourselves to be divided by ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.”
Kaigama’s message comes at a time when Nigeria is facing a number of challenges, including insecurity, economic instability, and political unrest.
However, he urged Nigerians not to give up on their country, but to work together to build a better future.
The cleric, however, said: “For that national rebirth we all long for to take place, we must hold our leaders accountable for their actions, demand transparency in all acts of governance and demand a drastic cut in the cost of governance.
