(KAURAN DAULAR USMANIYYA), EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF BAUCHI STATE,
ON THE OCCASION OF GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER MONDAY CELEBRATIONS

By Abdulwahab Muhammad Bauchi
To My Dear Compatriots and Beloved Citizens of Bauchi State,
All praise and glory be to Almighty God for granting us the grace to witness yet another Easter season in good health and spirit.
On behalf of the Government and the good people of Bauchi State, I extend warm Easter greetings and heartfelt felicitations to our Christian brothers and sisters as they commemorate this significant season in the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Easter is a time of deep spiritual reflection and significance. It is a solemn reminder of the power of sacrifice, redemption, and hope. The life, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ continue to inspire us all—regardless of our faith—with virtues of peace, love, humility, honesty, and selflessness.
I urge all citizens of our dear state to embrace these universal values in our daily lives and interactions with one another.
This season invites us to reflect deeply—to assess our actions over the past year, our relationships with fellow human beings, and how we might strive to become better individuals and a more united people. May this holy period grant us the strength to forgive, the courage to reconcile, and the determination to walk in love, peace, and harmony.
As a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state, Bauchi’s greatest strength lies in our unity in diversity. Now, more than ever, we must guard this unity jealously and continue to rise above divisions of ethnicity, politics, or religion. Let us see ourselves as one common family, bound by a shared destiny and a deep love for our dear State.
I wish to reaffirm the unwavering commitment of my administration to maintaining peace, security, and public order across Bauchi State. We remain ever vigilant in our efforts to protect lives and property, working hand-in-hand with security agencies and community leaders to ensure a safe and peaceful environment—especially during this festive season.
We are fully aware of the economic challenges currently facing our nation. In response, the Bauchi State Government has taken deliberate and compassionate steps to ease the hardship on our people. Through the expanded distribution of **palliatives—especially food items—**we aim to support our most vulnerable citizens. We shall continue to stand by you and with you until the storm passes. I have no doubt that, as a resilient and determined people, we shall overcome.
As we celebrate this Easter, I encourage everyone to observe the festivities responsibly, extend kindness to one another, and offer prayers for the continued peace, progress, and prosperity of our State and our nation.
May the blessings of this sacred season bring renewed hope, enduring peace, and divine protection to every household in Bauchi State.
I wish you all a joyful and peaceful Easter celebration.
Happy Easter.
God bless Bauchi State.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
