In an Easter message she personally said, Senator Oduah who noted that with love Nigeria can surmount all its challenges’ said, “We must learn to love like Christ loved and we must sacrifice in the was Christ has exemplified for us.
“If we love one another, the wanton killing, clashes, kidnapping theft and all other vices that bedevil our society would not exist.
“With love and sacrifice there in empathy, understanding, tolerance and coexistence. We would indeed be united if we love one another.
“Just as Christ taught us and as it is taught in Islam and many other religion, love is a virtue which conquers all, where there is love all other good virtues go along with it”.

“For parents, it is a time to reflect on how well you have brought up your children. The family still holds the key to bringing up good Nigerians and therefore parents must raise their children up in the right way so that we can have good Nigerians.
“I therefore wish every Nigerian Christian and friends a wonderful Easter celebration.”
