Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has called for renewed commitment to peace, unity, and civic responsibility, urging residents of Kogi State to take advantage of the ongoing Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) revalidation exercise.
In her Easter message to Christians across the state, with particular focus on Kogi Central, the lawmaker described the season as a period that symbolises sacrifice, renewal, and hope, stressing the need for citizens to reflect these values in their daily interactions.
According to her, the significance of Easter goes beyond celebration, serving as a reminder of enduring virtues that can help foster harmony in society.
“Easter reminds us of the triumph of light over darkness, hope over despair, and love over hate. It is a sacred period that calls for reflection, reconciliation, and a renewed commitment to peaceful coexistence,” she said.
Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasised that unity remains critical to the progress and stability of Kogi State, noting that meaningful development can only be achieved in an atmosphere devoid of division and conflict.
She urged residents across ethnic, religious, and political lines to embrace tolerance and mutual respect, insisting that collective strength lies in togetherness.
“I urge all residents of Kogi Central, and indeed Kogi State, to continue to live in harmony, regardless of ethnic, religious, or political differences. Our strength lies in our unity, and together we can build a more prosperous and secure society,” she added.
The senator also used the occasion to highlight the importance of civic engagement, particularly the ongoing PVC revalidation process, which she described as crucial to deepening democratic participation.
“This is not just a civic duty but a powerful tool for shaping our collective future. I strongly encourage all eligible voters to come out en masse and revalidate their voter cards, whether through online platforms or physical centres,” she stated.
She noted that increased participation in the electoral process would ensure that citizens’ voices are adequately represented in governance.
“Your vote is your voice. By participating in the revalidation process, you are securing your right to decide the leadership and direction of our state and nation,” she said.
Akpoti-Uduaghan further expressed hope that the Easter season would usher in renewed faith, peace, and prosperity for families across Kogi State.
“May this Easter fill our hearts with faith, our homes with joy, and our land with peace,” she prayed.
