A PARTNERSHIP for National Unity and the Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) extends Easter greetings to all Guyanese, especially to our Christian brothers and sisters. The festival of Easter commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians recognise that during his earthly life, Jesus demonstrated His concern for the poor and powerless in society, as well as His opposition to ills and evils, many of which, regrettably, now afflict our country and hamper our development.
As the celebrated Indian national, Kulapati Vani wrote many years ago, “…festivals are gatherings for refreshing the spirit and enjoying life.” We urge all Guyanese to use this occasion of Easter to refresh their spirit and enjoy life, and to participate fully in this colourful festival and enjoy the rich elements of our religious and cultural diversity.
As a nation, let us find spiritual inspiration in the promise of the resurrection and brace ourselves against that which has impeded equal opportunity and to restore equity, justice, peace and prosperity to our dear land.
Easter signals a season of renewal, of change, of moving ahead. It is time for change, and on May 11th Guyanese will have a chance to vote for change.
A HAPPY AND BLESSED EASTER TO ALL!
