Easter: Olumide Osoba urges Christians to emulate virtues of sacrifice, peace

A house of Representatives-elect, Reps. Olumide Osoba has called on Christians in the State and across the country to imbibe the spirit of love, humility, tolerance and forgiveness exemplified by Jesus Christ during his earthly sojourn.


Osoba in a statement personally signed by him and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta said the centrality of the birth and crucifixion of Jesus Christ was about love for mankind and His work of redemption. 


He urged Nigerian Christians  to imbibe love as an important fruit of the spirit.  


“I call on Nigerians to collectively imbibe the spirit of love, sacrifice and peaceful co-existence, it is only when such virtues exist that the nation can make meaningful progress.


“This season calls to mind the selflessness, love, and tolerance which were the hallmark of Jesus Christ during His earthly life.


 “It is a season when we should pause and reflect on our individual and collective roles towards promoting and sustaining that foundation of love, peace and harmony in our society.


“Therefore, we must see this period as a time that affords us to think about how we can help steer our nation back on the road to prosperity by working in the spirit of togetherness.


“I urge us all to continue to live peacefully and do our bits to make Ogun State and Nigeria  better place for us all to live.


”I also enjoin us to continue to pray for God’s interventions in the state of affairs of our dear nation.


“The challenges are daunting but not insurmountable if we earnestly cry out to God.


“I pray that the blessings of Easter will continue to abide with you this season and beyond. (Amen)”. He concluded
