“As we mark the spiritual holiday of Easter, it is important for Christians in Nigeria to seek to emulate in deeds and actions the sacrificial life of our Lord Jesus Christ who gave his life that mankind may have access to everlasting life.
“This way, the country will be able to rise above the numerous challenges it is presently facing and ascend to its God-given role as the giant of Africa and the vanguard of the black race.
“I also call on Nigerians to use the season of Easter to pray for the success of the Buhari administration as it possesses the nation’s best interests.”
On the politics of the southeast, Arodiogbu said the party in the zone was ready to liberate Enugu and Abia from the shackles of bad governance and maladministration presently experienced by the people of both states.
He also promised to deploy electoral winning strategies that would send the People’s Democratic Party in those states packing as ruling parties.
He assured that candidates who would be fielded in those states for the guber elections and other positions would be solid personalities with immense pedigree so that the people of both states would readily vote them in and enjoy the democratic dividends other APC states are presently enjoying.
