Omo   N’Oba   N’Edo,   Uku   Akpolokpolo,   Ewuare   II,   Oba   of Benin felicitates with Christians on the occasion of Easter, which is used to commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

His Royal Majesty, Ewuare II enjoined Christians irrespective of denomination to use the period of Easter to reflect on the teachings of Jesus Christ and endeavour to emulate Christ in their daily living.
