The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue has condemned the Good Friday attacks and killings, describing them as senseless, and urged Christians to use the Easter season to pray for the state.

This is contained in the party’s Easter message issued by the state chairman, Benjamin Omale, on Monday.

The statement reads in part: “In these difficult times marked by growing security concerns and attacks on communities, we beseech the Almighty God to arise in his power and bring lasting peace to our land.

“Our thoughts and prayers also go to all families mourning the loss of their loved ones as a result of the recent killings across various parts of our dear state.”

Mr Omale also felicitated with Benue Christians on the occasion of the 2025 Easter celebration.

“On behalf of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Benue State chapter, I extend warm Easter greetings to all our party faithful across the state and beyond.

“Your unwavering commitment, loyalty, and dedication to the ideals of our great party continue to be the foundation of our strength and progress.

“This Easter, let us hold firmly to the promise of resurrection — that after every storm comes calm, after every night comes dawn, and after every cross, there is a crown,” he said.
