In a profound Easter message addressing the intersection of faith, survival, and civic duty, the CEO of the ARA Foundation and prominent Oyo State political chieftain, Princess Aderonke Rahmat Adedoja, has called on Nigerians to look beyond temporary palliatives and focus on the long-term restoration of the nation.
In a statement released on behalf of the Foundation, Princess Adedoja extended warm greetings to the Christian community, acknowledging that the resurrection of Jesus Christ remains the fundamental reason for the celebration and a divine reminder that is essential right now as Nigeria grapples with deep-seated hunger and a shifting economic landscape.
She noted that the primary benefit of this season is the assurance that no situation is too dead to be revived, and just as the Easter story ends in victory, Nigeria’s current difficulties are a passing phase that requires a unified front to overcome.
Addressing the palpable hunger in the land, the ARA Foundation CEO cautioned citizens against the recurring cycle of “palliative politics,” urging Nigerians not to allow a “bowl of rice” or temporary handouts to dictate their future at a time when we must decide our fate.
She emphasized that while the hardship is real, our vote is our power and we must not trade our long-term prosperity for short-term relief, as our decisions in the coming elections will determine if we move toward the development we deserve. As a respected political stakeholder, Princess Adedoja made a direct appeal to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the nation’s political leadership for a fair, just, and transparent electoral process, asserting that Nigeria should be improving and moving toward stability rather than stagnating in uncertainty.

The statement steered away from simply finding fault with any one government, instead calling for a collective national effort where we embrace necessary structural changes and infrastructural developments with fairness and transparency.
Princess Adedoja maintained that developing the country is a shared responsibility and urged Nigerians of all faiths to maintain peace and unity, noting that insecurity only thrives where there is division. She concluded with a prayer that the spirit of Easter—defined by grace, resilience, and new beginnings—will inspire every Nigerian to make the right choices for a secured and prosperous future.
On behalf of the ARA Foundation, she warmly wishes every Christian brother and sister a joyous, safe, and truly Happy Easter, filled with the hope of a nation moving forward in total victory.
