The CEO of IBA Foundation, and an Aspirant into the Ogun State House of Assembly in Abeokuta North under the platform of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, Ibrahim Jinadu has called on Christians to use the opportunity that Easter provides to show love to one another and make sacrifices for the overall good of the society.
In his Easter message, Jinadu said it is through love and sacrifice that Christians can uphold Christ`s legacy of service to humanity.
He said the season should compel Christians to review and reflect on their roles in promoting and sustaining the foundation of love and peace that Christ laid; and added that it was also a time to show more commitment to the development of the society.
“Therefore, as we celebrate the Easter in sober recollection of Christ’s crucifixion, let us think about how we can each help to steer our State back on the road to peace, by working in the spirit of oneness,” he said.
Jinadu thanked the people of Ogun State for the understanding they had demonstrated to one another over the years irrespective of their ethnic, religious and other differences, and pointed out that this had ensured mutual love and peaceful co-existence in the state.
He nonetheless, implored the people of Ogun state to support PDP in the next general elections, and shun acts that could undermine the peace and development of the state, charging them to be vigilant ,abide by laws and demonstrate acts that pointed to moral rectitude.
"I wish to enjoin our Christian faithful to rekindle thier faith in Christ who overcame prosecution, sufferings, and displayed endurance, steadfastness and above all piety. Jesus Christ represented man’s ability to withstand temporary pains in the hope of everlasting glory," Jinadu said
