The All Progressives Congress Chairman in Osun State, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal has called on all Nigerians to take advantage of the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to advance peace and commit themselves to God, in faith and practice.
Lawal, in his Easter message, congratulated the Christians in Osun State and Nigeria at large for the successful forty-day-long Lenten season in penance for the atonement of sins and salvation of mankind, which Easter portends.
The APC Chairman, who maintained that Easter was the hallmark of Christianity, stressed that the celebration of Christ's resurrection and salvation offered Nigerians a great opportunity to come closer to God and promote all virtues that would enhance peace, love, unity, and progress of the country.
"Nigeria is a great country with good people, who have great potential," adding that if well harnessed, the nation and the citizens would be better for it.
"At this time of Easter, we have to unite as a people. We have to pray for our country. We should also be our brothers' keepers as always. I am certain that together as a people, we will achieve more. Our unity is ultimately our strength.
"I call on Nigerians to remain steadfast and resolute as we match forward as a nation bound by our diversity. Let's show love to one another, irrespective of our ethnicity, tribe, religion or creed."
