As Nigerian Christians join the rest of the world to celebrate another Easter, the Senate Leader, Senator (Dr) Micheal Opeyemi Bamidele (CON) has urged Nigerians not to join forces with pessimists to paint the picture of a failed state .
The Senate Leader who gave this admonition in a statement by his Directorate of Media and Public Affairs said the Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration is on top of the situation .
According to him, the price paid by Jesus Christ which eventually saved humanity from eternal damnation could be likened to the economic hardships currently being experienced by Nigerians, but assured that the situation will pay off in due course.
He therefore charged Nigerians to always remember their leaders in prayers, particularly President Tinubu who he said, working tirelessly to right the wrongs and place the country on tbe path of sustainable development.
Bamidele also called on them to imbibe the sacrifice and pains the saviour of mankind went through on the cross.
He prayed that whatever sacrifice made by Nigerians shall not be in vain; adding that the Federal Government is on top of the situation and laying the foundation for a prosperous Nigeria.
“We should not allow pessimists to paint a picture of a failed nation before us, without recourse to the relentless efforts of the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he assured.
“it is pertinent for us as an individual and citizens of Federal Republic of Nigeria to pick one or two lessons from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, though it was a painful sacrifice, but the sacrifice paved the way for our external redemption.
“It is in the interest of nation building for both the leaders and followers to learn the importance of sacrifice as panacea to lay foundation for the future of any nation.
“The sacrifice we are undergoing today may be painful just as it was for Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago, yet I call on the citizenry to remain hopeful and undistracted as there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
He said current economic indices can attest to the fact that there are unprecedented rapid reforms taking place across key sectors of the life of the nation.
He gave the instance of the Foreign Exchange that had hit the roof top few weeks ago but now drastically dropping by 32.6 percent as a result of pragmatic steps taken by President Tinubu and and his economic team.
Bamidele further assured that investors are currently trooping into the country with job creating opportunities, while the National Assembly is prepared to give the President all the needed legislative backing to ensure that the sacrifices of Nigerians are soon rewarded.
