Easter: Sanwo-Olu Urges Nigerians To Emulate Christ’s Virtues Of Humility, Perseverance, Compassion,

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has rejoiced with Nigerians, particularly Christian faithful and residents of the state as they celebrate this year’s Easter, the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The governor urged Lagos residents, particularly Christians to emulate Jesus Christ’s virtues of humility, perseverance and compassion, which made Him die on the cross for the atonement of mankind’s sins and reconcile them with God.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his Easter Message issued on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, urged 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 our Lord Jesus Christ.

The governor also implored Nigerians, particularly Christians, to use the occasion to seek the face of God for continuous peace in Lagos State and Nigeria, especially as the country begins the transition from President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“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. The message of Easter is that of sacrifice, tolerance, harmony, perseverance, and undying love.

“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 nationalities.

“Let us remember to be Christ-like in our love for fellow citizens and our country. As Christians, this period offers us an opportunity to rethink our relationships as individuals, as communities, and as a nation,” he said.
