Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has rejoiced with Nigerians, particularly Christian faithful in the state as they celebrate this year’s Easter, which marks the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, urging Lagos residents, particularly Christians, to emulate the virtues of humility, perseverance and compassion of Jesus Christ.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the call in an Easter message issued by his Special Adviser (SA) on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, saying that they emulate those virtues, which made Jesus Christ “die on the cross for the atonement of our sins and reconciling us with God.”
The governor also implored Christians to continue to live in peace, love and harmony with believers in other faiths, noting that good neighbourliness, selflessness, patience, and love were among the several lessons taught and exemplified by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Sanwo-Olu, while wishing all Lagosians and Christians across the country and other parts of the world a Happy Easter in remembrance of the sacrifice and love of Jesus towards mankind, further urged Lagosians and Nigerians, in general, to make togetherness and unity of the country their central goal.
He said they should emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ by simply impacting the lives of friends, colleagues, associates, neighbours and family members, as well as contributing to the growth and development of Lagos State and Nigeria in general.
“Today, I wish all Lagosians and Christians across the country and other parts of the world a Happy Easter as we remember the sacrifice and love of Jesus towards mankind.
“As we commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want Lagosians and Nigerians in general to make togetherness and unity of the country the central goal of our nationality.
“Let us all emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ by simply impacting the lives of friends, colleagues, associates, neighbours and family members, as well as contributing to the growth and development of our dear Lagos State and Nigeria.”
