Plateau State Governor-Elect, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang has expressed confident that God has the ability to resurrect anything good that has perished in Plateau and Nigeria by the power in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Mutfwang disclosed this during Easter Sunday Service, held at St. Peter’s Cathedral Church, Bukuru where he prayed fervently for Plateau to witness the glory of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

He described the Church as an important sanctity which must show forth unity in the body of Christ in championing a united Plateau and Nigeria where peace, tolerance and God’s love will flourish.

“Easter reminds us about the death, the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the reason for why the Church exist. We can draw many lessons from the death of Jesus Christ which teaches us about sacrifice. He died not because He committed any sin but to show the love of God to mankind.

“We should emulate His example of sacrifice by loving our fellow human being and demostrat to them God’s love. Easter Sunday particularly represent the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ; and the lessons we can draw from there is that death situations can be turn around, that is our hope for Plateau and Nigeria.

“Whatever is death in Nigeria can resurrect by the power of God and that is what we are praying for. I urge our people to remain prayerful and hopeful that with God all things are possible. We are trusting God that the coming days would be days of restoration, days of rebuilding so that we can reclaim what God has ordained our state and nation to be.” He stated.

He assured that his administration would not take the mandate given to them for granted, neither as a right but as a privilege and honour to bequeath an enduring legacy of peace, unity and infrastructural development.

Bishop of St. Peter Cathedral Church, Bukuru, Rev. Jwam Zhumbes said the power in the resurrection of Jesus Christ was purely to salvage mankind from the power of sin.

“I want the people of Plateau State to have a reason for living and a purpose for life, not people who are walking in the dark. We must be purposeful in our drives. If we want to have a better Plateau, it can never be other than the purpose of Christ. I want to encourage everyone that God can do new things in our lives individually and collectively.”

He called on Plateau people to join hands together now that the elections are over, and support government in its drive to bequeath good governance for the prosperity of the entire state.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
