The Chief Whip of the Abia State House of Assembly and Member representing Umuahia South State Constituency, Hon Emeka Tommy Obioma, has extended heartfelt Easter felicitations to Christians across his constituency, calling on them to embrace the enduring message of hope, renewal, and new beginnings symbolized by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“Let this Easter renew our courage and strengthen our resolve to overcome the trials before us. Just as Christ overcame the grave, we too can rise above our challenges through faith and determination,” he added.
He concluded by calling on Christians to sustain the spirit of Easter beyond the festivities, living lives marked by integrity, service, and unwavering faith in God. According to him, the true essence of Easter lies in transformation and the continuous pursuit of a better, more purposeful life.
