Ife Federal Constituency, House of Representatives’ aspirant Prince Ayoade Adewopo under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has extended greetings to the people of Osun state on this Easter day, the festival celebrated to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Adewopo admonished Christians to be Christlike in their dealings, saying tolerance and living peacefully regardless of the tribes and religion makes a great nation. He added that his desire is to see Nigeria take its place as a renowned country.
His Easter message reads “On this day, let us pledge to strive for the benefit and welfare of others and let peace and harmony prevail among the people,” read an official statement from Prince Ayoade Adewopo.
Prince Adewopo further expressed hopes that the Easter celebrations would inspire everyone to win over sin.
“In this season of new beginnings, I hope you will take the time to reflect on the many blessings in your life, as we come together to celebrate the teachings of peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb after his crucifixion. Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Lord Jesus, who was persecuted, died for our sins, and rose on the third day. Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we will always have victory over sin.”
“Whether you’re celebrating Easter this Sunday, or enjoying a day of rest and relaxation, I hope you get the chance to spend time with friends and family, and to give thanks for all of our blessings and the gift of endurance in this great state. Let us also keep in our thoughts and prayers all those in our community who have been forgotten by our government, be they pensioners, the elderly, or any number of people who need help right in our local neighborhoods. May we find the strength to continue to fight with them in solidarity for a better world,” read the official statement.
“Jesus taught us to love God and love our fellow human beings. He led by example and his teachings are just as relevant now, as they were in his lifetime. Easter reminds us all to follow our conscience and ask not what we are entitled to, but what we can do for others. It teaches us about charity, compassion, responsibility and forgiveness,” he added.
“So this holiday, however you celebrate, I want to wish you and your family a renewed season of health and prosperity.”
