Babajide Sanwo-Olu urges the residents to Emulate Jesus Christ's virtues of humility.

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, urged residents, particularly Christians to emulate Jesus Christ's virtues of humility, perseverance, and compassion, which made Him die on the cross of Calvary for the atonement of our sins and reconcile us with God.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his Easter Message, issued on Friday, April 7 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 the other faiths, noting that good neighborliness, 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 Muhammad Buhari's administration to the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He said ''I was all Lagosians and Christians across the country and another part of the world, a Happy Easter as we remember the sacrifice and love of Jesus Christ towards mankind. The message of Easter is that of sacrifice, tolerance, harmony, perseverance, and undying love."

As we commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want Lagosians and Nigerians, in general, to make togetherness and unity of the country the central goal of our nationalities.

Let us remember to be Christ-like in our love for fellow citizens and our country. As Christians, this period offers us opportunity to rethink our relationships as individuals, as communities, and as a nation.

'We should also use the period to pray for Peace in Lagos State and Nigeria as the country prepares for the May 29 handing over ceremony.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, also used the opportunity of the Easter celebration to commend and thank residents for their steadfastness, resilience, support, and co-operation with his administration during his first term. While also reassuring residents of his Government's commitment to continued good governance and more people-oriented programs during his second term in office.

We should mirror the virtues of humility, compassion, and undying love, as demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
May the blessing of Easter and the power of resurrection, rekindle our faith in God and humanity. I wish you all a happy celebration.
