Christians across Nigeria have joined their counterparts globally to observe the Easter Sunday which is believed to signify the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion over 2,000 years ago.

Worshippers of various Christian denominations trooped out to their various churches to be part of the celebration.

It was a mood of intense worship and thanksgiving as Channels Television visited the Saint Michaels Cathedral in Kaduna state, Nigeria’s North West zone.

Delivering his Easter message, the Anglican Bishop of the state Diocese, Timothy Yahaya, noted that Easter is the beginning of eternal hope for mankind and therefore, called on Christians to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness against one another as exemplified by Jesus Christ.

He also urged political leaders to adopt a positive approach to governance by putting the interest of the masses above themselves.
