As Christians in Nigeria join their counterparts all over the world to celebrate Easter, the Executive Chairman of Ibadan South East Local Government, Hon. Emmanuel Oluwole Alawode has called on Citizens to use the period of Easter and reflect on the virtues of sacrifice, love, tolerance and respect for sanctity of life which Jesus Christ demonstrated through his death and resurrection.
While congratulating the Christians in Ibadan South East Local Government, Oyo State and Nigeria at large for this year’s celebration of Easter, Hon. Alawode said it is only through love and sacrifice toward the good of society that people could uphold the legacy of Jesus Christ which is encapsulated in His selfless love and sacrifice on behalf of humanity.
He described Easter as a special event that marks the salvation of mankind through the suffering of Jesus and His crucifixion to redeem humanity.
Easter, the council boss further noted, “is a period when we engage in sober recollection of the ultimate and selfless sacrifice of love that Jesus Christ made on our behalf.”
Hon. Alawode then urged Christians to reflect on the true meaning of Easter by making positive impacts in their communities and promoting good neighbourliness and love because society requires more expression of love to improve the quality of life of the people.
