Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state has joined millions of Christians to observe the Easter season.

In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant, SSA on Media, Mrs Olufunmilayo Wakama, the governor stressed the need for harmony in the quest for a new Nigeria, irrespective of ethnic, political and religious affiliations.

He added that “the period is symbolic for us as a nation, having recently elected a new President.

“As we commemorate the resurrection of Christ, I see a new Nigeria under the leadership of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari and I urge all well meaning Nigerians to join hands with him to bring about accelerated socio-economic progress,” Amosun said.

The governor urged all Nigerians to ponder over the supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and take a cue from His selflessness, by eschewing all forms of political, social and religious vices.

He prayed for God’s guidance and blessings for the Buhari presidency and continuity in Ogun State, as Nigerians go to the polls to elect their governors and State Assembly members next Saturday.

Governor Amosun however wished everyone a blessed Easter celebration.
