Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has urged Nigerian Christians to use the Easter season to pray for compassionate leaders who genuinely share in the people’s struggles. 

In his Easter message on Saturday, April 19, 2025, Obi emphasized that true compassionate leaders consider the impact of their actions and inactions on the lives of the people they serve.

He highlighted Easter as a time to reflect on the profound sacrifice of Jesus Christ, describing Him as a remarkable example of compassionate leadership. 

"At Easter, what Christians celebrate is the huge sacrifice Jesus Christ made for mankind.

"Therefore, there is no better time to pray for tender-hearted and caring leaders for our country than at Easter when we saw in Jesus a remarkable, compassionate leader.

Obi, in a press release signed Ibrahim Umar, spokesperson of the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR),  noted that "what is apparent in Nigeria today as insecurity and myriads of problems engulf the land is a visible abdication of responsibility by insensitive and indifferent leaders.

Nigeria deserves better leadership than they are getting to turn the natural and human capital gifts from God to the benefit of the populace.

Finally, Obi urged fellow Nigerians and obedient families across the globe never to despair in the face of any tribulations because our Redeemer is living and active, assuring us that a New Nigeria is possible.

He concluded by wishing everyone a happy Easter and called for prayers for tender-hearted and caring leadership to guide the nation toward a brighter future.
