The Chairman, Oyo-Si-Maa-Dun Foundation, Mr Abisoye Fagade, has urged Nigerians
to renew their individual commitment to peace and tolerance as the celebrate Easter.
Fagade who is also a gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo state for the 2023 general election, made the call in an Easter message by his media aide Comrade Kehinde Idowu on Saturday in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to him, the surest way through which the country could emerge from the current challenges of instability was for the citizens to be tolerant of each other.
“We celebrate Easter because Jesus Christ offered to sacrifice himself for the emancipation of man and this underscores the need for every Christian to think deeply about the reason for the season as it should not be only merrymaking and junketing.
“Being an epitome of love, courage and passion, Jesus was able to reunite man with his Creator and thereby giving every generation a hope of salvation.
“In essence, we should take out time to study how the Son of Mary was able to deliver on the divine mission of bringing total liberation to man.
“It is on this premise that we are urging fellow citizens of our dear country to embrace and preach peace at all times in view of the vulnerability of Nigerian society to ethnicity and religious crisis,” he said.
The governorship aspirant said there was need for Nigerians to tolerate themselves despite the differences in ethnic, religious and political affiliations or background.
He advised the people not to loose hope that the current challenges of insecurity and economic instability would soon be a thing of the past.
“Nigeria is God’s own project and this indicates that we should not loose hope about her emergence from the current travails in terms of economic hardship, social unrest and political instability.
“There is no pretence about what we are facing as a people but we must remain hopeful that all will soon be well even as we continue to pray for our leaders at all levels,” he said
