A Chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC in Abeokuta South Local Government, Ogun State, Dr. Ololade Kehinde has congratulated Christians on celebration of Easter festival,  calling it a period of reunion, self-discipline, sacrifice, forgiveness, and commitment to God.

The APC Chieftain who is also one of  Abiodun's aides called on Nigerians to take advantage of the period to seek God’s favour for the country and to reunite against all forces of evil who seek to tear the country apart and terrorise its people with violence and economic sabotage.

He called  on them to imbibe the exemplary life of love, selflessness, sacrifice and forgiveness which Christ demonstrated in His death, burial and resurrection for the redemption of mankind.

According to him Easter is a significant moment in the life of every Christian.

Ololade said  "that this Easter period coincides with the Muslims’ holy month of Ramadan – in which self-discipline and increased virtues are seriously encouraged signals to the faith communities to unite, speak, act and pray in one accord for a greater Nigeria. 

"Let us come together to pray against all forces of evil against peace and development,” he said. 

“At this Easter and beyond, I wish everyone greater strides and glad tidings as we recommit ourselves to a better Nigeria and stronger ties as a community of people bounded by a common destiny.”

"I want to call on the Christians and the Muslims who are also fasting to use the opportunity of this period to pray for the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun and  Ogun State as whole for accelerated development" he concluded
