Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, a lawyer and the Plateau state governor has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Christians across the world on the occasion of the Easter celebration which commemorates Christ’s redemptive sacrifice and His triumph over sin and death.

In his Easter message signed by Gyang Bere, his Director of Press and Public Affairs (DOPA), made available to Journalists Saturday in Jos, governor Mutfwang described the celebration as the cornerstone of the Christian faith, centered on the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind.

He added, “Let us never forget the immeasurable price paid on the Cross of Calvary, where Christ bore our sins and suffered so we might receive forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. His resurrection assures us of victory over sin, despair, and every adversity.”

Governor Mutfwang urged Christians to embrace the spirit of Easter with renewed hope, praying for the Holy Spirit to reveal the profound power and mystery of Christ’s resurrection. He expressed hope that this season would inspire believers to live righteously, love unconditionally, and serve others selflessly.

He commended the strength and dedication of those who observed the Lenten season, encouraging them to uphold the virtues of self-denial, prayer, and reflection, which are essential for spiritual growth and a closer walk with Christ.

The Governor also called on all citizens to commit to fervent prayers for leaders, struggling communities, and Plateau State, trusting God for divine renewal, peace, and progress.

“I remain confident that by God’s grace and mercy, we shall overcome every challenge before us. Let us, therefore, pursue peace with all people and work in unity to confront the issues facing us.

“This is the time to rise above our differences and draw strength from our diversity in Christ. Together, let us rebuild and reclaim Plateau, a land of peace, promise, and great potential,” he declared.
