Peceli Naviticoko 
Leader of Opposition Inia Seruiratu
As Fijians mark Good Friday today commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross, the Opposition Leader has called on people to take this time to reevaluate their lives in light of the rising incidents of violent attacks in the country.
Inia Seruiratu emphasized the key messages of Easter, including forgiveness, love, commitment, sharing, and acceptance, hold great significance for society.
“If you are on the roads or if you are traveling, make sure we share the love, the love that was shared on the cross of Calvary.”
Seruiratu expressed hope that the love demonstrated on the cross of Calvary would be shared among all Fijians, urging them to reflect on their actions and choices during this holiday season.
He also issued a cautionary message to the public to be careful while traveling, driving, or enjoying the holiday, as the number of road fatalities for the year has already surpassed twenty.
Seruiratu adds that the opposition members conveyed warm wishes for a happy and blessed Easter to all Fijians, emphasizing the importance of reflection, caution, and spreading the love during this festive season.
Meanwhile FijiFirst leader Voreqe Bainimarama says Christians should not discriminate against those who are different to them, just as Christ did not distinguish between Jew and Gentile.
In his Easter message, the former Prime Minister says Easter honors the life, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his life is a story of sacrifice, hope and unconditional love.
Bainimarama says this spirit of love and compassion, concern, welfare and equal treatment for all of our fellow human being is enshrined in our Constitution.
