According to him, “Let us remember to pray that the spirit of Easter; selflessness, forgiveness, the victory of good over evil prevail this season and beyond.”
“We Christians must pray and work for peace to reign as this is a major way in achieving a prosperous Nigeria.
” I ask you to continue to imbibe the spirit of peaceful co-existence, unity and love for one another which are the ideals and principles on which our dear state is founded.
“The commendable acts of residents in often rallying round each other in challenging moments, irrespective of religious or ethnic differences is an indication that the dreams of our founding fathers in creating Osun as a center of unity has taken deep roots and is flourishing.
“Let us all preach love and oneness wherever we find ourselves. We cannot witness meaningful development without love, tolerance and lending help for everyone wherever we are”, he stated.
