As Christians across Plateau State, Nigeria, and the world commemorate this year’s Good Friday and Easter celebration — the most sacred season in Christendom — I, Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi, Member Representing the good people of Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam (PKK) Federal Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on the Nigerian Navy, extend my heartfelt greetings and solidarity to the Christian faithful in my constituency and beyond. Easter is not just a celebration, but a deep spiritual reminder of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, love, and victory over death. It is a time for sober reflection, forgiveness, and the renewal of faith and purpose.
However, we cannot mark this season without acknowledging the painful realities our people are facing back home. It is with a heavy heart that I identify with the people of Plateau State in the wake of the renewed attacks and senseless killings being perpetrated by enemies of peace. I stand in deep mourning with all the bereaved families who have lost loved ones in these tragic incidents. These acts of violence are not only condemnable but a direct assault on the values of unity and peaceful coexistence that our state holds dear. I urge the good people of Plateau, particularly in our PKK constituency, to remain resolute and united in the face of these dark times. Division only empowers those who seek to destabilize us. Our strength lies in our unity, and only together can we confront and overcome this evil.
At this sacred time, I wish to thank the people of Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam for the overwhelming support and trust they continue to give me. Your encouragement has been the driving force behind my dedication to public service, and I do not take your confidence for granted. As we reflect on the passion and resurrection of Christ — who came and gave His life for a world that did not deserve it — I call on all of us to extend that same selfless love to one another. Let us forgive where we’ve been wronged, give where we can, and support one another in fostering peace within our communities. Without peace, there can be no meaningful development. No road, school, hospital, or opportunity can thrive in a community ravaged by division and hatred. I therefore plead with all constituents to be ambassadors of peace in word and deed, and I pledge on my part to continue working tirelessly to attract more dividends of democracy to our constituency.
This Easter also presents a moment of truth and responsibility for all of us in leadership. I call on my fellow politicians — especially my colleagues and representatives from different constituencies in Plateau State — to put our political differences aside and work as a united team to bring development, peace, and security to our people. Our allegiance must be first and foremost to the people who entrusted us with their mandate, not to party lines or personal ambitions. The Plateau dream will only become reality when we combine our voices, efforts, and resources to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous state.
Let me also use this occasion to appreciate the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for its continued efforts to reposition the Nigerian economy and restore confidence in governance. Despite the challenges, the current administration has shown genuine commitment toward policies aimed at long-term economic recovery and national development. We in the National Assembly will continue to support every initiative that prioritizes the well-being of the Nigerian people and brings prosperity to our regions.
Finally, to my Christian brothers and sisters, I remind you of the true essence of Easter — the foundation upon which Christianity stands. It is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection — the victory of life over death, of light over darkness, and of hope over despair. Without Easter, there would be no Christianity. As you attend church services, gather with family, and reflect during this holy time, may you be inspired to live lives of purpose, humility, and love, just as Christ exemplified. May His resurrection empower us all to rise above our challenges and embrace the promise of a better tomorrow.
Wishing you all a peaceful, joyful, and spiritually uplifting Easter.
