Sacrifice brings liberation, victory over darkness – El Rufai
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, on Sunday urged Christians to emulate the life of Jesus Christ, stressing that “sacrifice brings liberation and victory over darkness.”
In his Easter message signed by his spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan, the diminutive governor called on Christians to embrace the lessons of Easter as a practical guide to life
The controversial governor stated that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, “through the sadness, pain and despair of the Crucifixion, also embodied hope, liberation and victory over darkness, as evidenced in the Resurrection”.
The statement quoted El-Rufai as saying that “through tough and calm times, people of faith have an example to emulate. Easter is a pointer to the power of hope, and a demonstration that sacrifice ultimately brings liberation and victory”.
El-Rufai expressed hope that universal message of a common humanity will spur Nigerians to uphold peace and harmony and to always embrace others as part of the great family of God.
