An African Democratic Congress (ADC) gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State, Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke, has felicitated Christians on the celebration of Easter, calling for renewed commitment to prayers and unity as pathways to sustainable economic growth in the state.

In his Easter message, the Aare Egbe-Omo Balogun of Ibadan, described the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a powerful reminder of hope, sacrifice, and victory over adversity, while urging Christians to reflect these virtues in their daily lives.

“Easter is a season that teaches us resilience, love, and selflessness. These values are essential if we must collectively rebuild and strengthen our society”, he said.

The gubernatorial hopeful therefore charged residents of Oyo State to take advantage of the instant spiritual significance of the season to seek divine intervention for the state’s economic prosperity, peace, and stability.

He noted that genuine development can only thrive in an atmosphere of unity, peaceful co-existence, and shared responsibility, stressing that citizens must remain committed to supporting initiatives that drive growth and improve livelihoods.

“Through collective prayers and a united front, we can lay a solid foundation for enduring progress and prosperity in Oyo State,” Adegoke added.

He concluded by wishing Christians a joyous and peaceful Easter celebration, expressing hope that the season would usher in renewed strength, progress, and a brighter future for Oyo State and Nigeria as a whole.
