EASTER MESSAGE BY Hon Akogun Wale Raji Anomo Ikosi Ejirin LCDA Chairman
By Ayekooto
*LET THE SPIRIT OF LOVE, HOPE AND UNITY BE OUR WATCHWORD .*
I congratulate Christians in the State and the country at large on the occasion of this year's Easter celebration.
Easter is a pointer to the power of hope, love and a demonstration that sacrifice ultimately brings salvation, liberation and victory. I urge us all that we adopt the lessons of Easter as a practical guide to life.
For Christians, the essence of Easter has remained the substance of the Christian faith built on the foundation of love, sacrifice, hope and spiritual renewal.
Indeed, no name has had a greater and more positive effect on mankind than Jesus Christ. His teachings and life inspired global civilisation.
His words have inspired billions throughout the history of mankind and set the standards for ethics and morality.
I urge us all to let His life, death and resurrection inspire us to accept that as He died to make us holy, we should live to love each other.
As our country prepares for the dawn of renewed hope, let's allow this great show of love of Jesus Christ to lead our acts and deeds.
We must see ourselves as one to allow the promise of God for our motherland to become fruitful.
Nigeria is one indivisible entity. Our quest for a better and prosperous nation must only be fired with our resolve to be united and strengthen our sovereignty with love that is untainted.
Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic group, religion and political affiliation, desire prosperity and development. But nothing tangible can be achieved in an atmosphere of hate and acrimony.
Therefore, I urge us all to purge ourselves of unnecessary bickering and political brickbats;
It is time to leverage on our differences as strength for a greater nation. Let's be united to support and enjoy the fruit of the renewed hope.
My dear people of Ondo State, I must also use this opportunity to enjoin us not to let our chords of togetherness be broken, as we have always demonstrated in all spheres.
Let us not forget that the peace and development of our State, that we as the government are committed to, lie in the unity and love we show to one another.
Happy Easter Celebration to you all. May the blessings of the season be ours.
Signed
Hon Akogun Wale Raji Anomo Ikosi Ejirin LCDA Chairman
