Pastor Azemhe Azena, Overseer, Southern Region of the Omega Fire Ministry has urged Christians to use the Good Friday and Easter celebration periods to reflect on the many challenges confronting the nation. 

Azemhe, the 2024 governorship aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party, made the call in a press  statement to mark this year's Easter celebration in Benin City.


The clergy man also  urged Christians to cultivate the spirit of good  leadership, sacrifice, tolerance and love which are the virtues of Jesus Christ.


According to him, as we celebrate Good Friday and Easter celebrations, let us reflect on the virtues of Jesus Christ, let us take the opportunity to consider the many challenges that we face as a people and a nation knowing that Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.


"Good Friday is a day of reflection, repentance, and gratitude for the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross for the redemption of mankind. It is a time to renew our faith in God and recommit ourselves to acts of kindness, compassion, and service to others.


"We too must be willing to make sacrifices and work together to build a better, progressive and prosperous state and nation for us and unborn generations.


"I urge us all to use this occasion to reflect on the values of sacrifice, love, and unity that Jesus Christ exemplified during his time on earth. 


"Let us come together as one people, irrespective of our differences, to work towards a brighter future for ourselves, our families, and our communities", he said.
