The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi, has congratulated Governor Seyi Makinde, the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN), the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, (PFN) and the entire Christians on the occasion of this year’s Easter celebration.

Ajadi said the Good Friday which marked the remembrance of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the Easter Sunday which marked his rising from the dead are important dates in the Christiandom.

Ajadi, in a statement he personally signed on Friday to commemorate the Easter, said he rejoiced with the Christians that this year’s celebration is being witnessed in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility in the country.

He said he particularly rejoiced with Goveenor Makinde, noting that his exemplary leadership and good governance in Oyo State in the last seven years has shown him as a selfless person, a lover of the masses and one who cares for others.

He called on the Christians to remember Jesus Christ’s directive that they should love their neighbours as themselves, saying if this directive is strictly followed, there would be peace in the World.

He called on Christians, especially the well- to- do to learn the heart of helping the poor, stressing that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will not be in vain if Christians can abide by His directive on humility and love for one another.

Ajadi said there is hope for Nigeria as a country despite the present harsh economy and prevalence of insecurity, saying, “We should take solace in the fact that God can do all things and that like He restores the lost glory and resources of the Zion , He will do same for Nigeria”, Ajadi said.
