According to him, the resurrection symbolizes the triumph of life over death and light over darkness, offering mankind a pathway to redemption and eternal life.
He stressed that through Christ’s death and resurrection, humanity has been reconciled to God, describing it as the ultimate expression of divine love. He urged Christians to rise above past shortcomings and deepen their faith, noting that the resurrection offers a fresh start filled with hope and grace.

The former Minority Leader also urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in prayers for peace and security, particularly as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“At this critical time in our national life, we must be relentless in prayers for unity, peace, and stability. We must commit Nigeria into the hands of God, especially as we have entered another election cycle,” he said.
Elumelu further extended prayers for global peace, with particular concern over tensions in the Middle East, warning that instability in the region could have far-reaching consequences for both global and national economies.
He commended the efforts of President Bola Tinubuin steering the nation toward progress, expressing optimism that the administration’s policies would yield positive results.
