The Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo State Council, Comrade Festus Alenkhe, has extended heartfelt Easter greetings to all Christians and non-Christians alike, celebrating the profound significance of the season, which solidified Christianity globally.
In a statement released on the occasion of Easter, Comrade Alenkhe emphasised that the celebration brings a message of new beginnings, hope, and the promise of renewed life. The occasion, he said, serves as a time for deep reflection on the resurrection of Jesus Christ—an event marked by expressions of joy, gratitude, and love.
“The Cross that Jesus Christ bore was heavy, but He carried it to wipe away our sins,” the message noted. “The resurrection is a proof that the joy of everyone will be sustained, as demonstrated by His declaration, ‘It is Finished.'”
Recalling the Biblical account from Acts 13:30, which states that God raised Jesus from the dead and made the tomb empty, Comrade Alenkhe reaffirmed that Easter remains a pivotal celebration in the lives of Christians worldwide, symbolising victory over death and the promise of eternal life.
The statement also included a special prayer for journalists in Edo State, urging that the miracle of Easter bring peace, love, and unity to them and their families. Comrade Alenkhe expressed his hope that the season would inspire peace in the hearts of all media practitioners, allowing them to serve with dedication and integrity.
Further extending his goodwill, the NUJ Chairman sent a message of blessing to Edo State’s Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his Deputy, Rt. Hon Dennis Idahosa. He also prayed for the wisdom and guidance of all members of the State Executive Council, wishing them success in their efforts to continue leading Edo State towards greater development, peace, and prosperity.
Comrade Alenkhe reminded journalists in the State of the vital importance of adhering strictly to the ethics of the journalism profession. He called on the media to continue to uphold the principles of truth, fairness, and professionalism, ensuring that the rules of media engagement are followed with diligence and responsibility.
