Easter: Emulate Jesus Christ’s Virtues — Sanwo-Olu Urges Residents

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has urged 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 our sins and reconcile us with God.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his Easter Message, issued on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Gboyega Akosile, rejoiced with Nigerians, particularly Christian faithful and residents of the State as they celebrate and urged all 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, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He said: “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.
