Former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has charged Christians as well as all Nigerians to demonstrate the essence of Easter as exemplified by Jesus Christ by living in love and harmony with one another.
Omisore, a former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, gave this charge in a statement issued by him to felicitate with the generality of Nigerians at Easter.
According to Omisore: “As Nigerians we must eschew acts that will divide us further. We must embrace the Christ attitude of living in love and harmony with ourselves and our neighbours.
“It is not by chance that God put all of us in this environment called Nigeria. Whether as Muslims and Christians, we must remember always that we are our brother’s keeper. We must promote all the enriching values that make our lives and society embodiments of godliness.”
Omisore, who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2014 governorship election in Osun State, urged the people of the state to be steadfast in their prayers “as they seek an end to their long years of servitude under the oppressive All Progressives Congress government of Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
“As we eagerly approach the September governorship election, I urge the good people of Osun State to continue in their prayer of liberation from the oppressive APC government in the state.
“Let us all unite to drive away those who have enslaved our dear state in the September election and free the unborn generation from the huge burden of debts they have thrown us into.”
