Be Hopeful, Amosun Tells Christians at Easter
As Christian faithful celebrate the Easter,
Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has emphasised the need for followers of Christ to remain hopeful for a glorious future.
The governor said this in his Easter message, signed by the state Commissioner for information and Strategy, Otunba Adedayo Adeneye.
Amosun said “Easter, which essentially is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, symbolises the assurance of the redemptive heritage of all Christians.
“It is not only a verification of the teachings and ideals of Jesus but also an assurance of the fulfilment of the promises of all things that pertain to life and godliness,” he added.
Amosun also enjoined Nigerians to see beyond the merriment and holiday, during the season, but rather, reflect on the essence of the celebration, which is hope, sacrifice and love.
According to him, “as long as we live in the consciousness of these ideals, life will indeed be more abundant and peacefull.”
He wished Christians a happy Easter celebration, urging them not to relent in prayers for the nation and government at all levels.
