Easter: Oyewole Durodoye Congratulates Christians, Urges Continued Prayers For Peace, Security

A chieftain of Osun State APC, who is also a professor of Mathematics, Professor Oyewole Rafiu Durodoye has urged peace, love and tolerance among Nigerians ‘in the spirit of Easter’.

Professor Durodoye in a statement he issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com heartily felicitated the people of Osun State, and other Nigerians especially the Christians in his hometown, Osogbo, as they join others across the world to celebrate Easter.

Durodoye, who is a frontline politician and an academician, urged all Nigerians to pray for peace and security amidst seemingly intractable insecurity in the country and an end to terrorism in the land.

According to him, Easter which is the season of the remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, marks the trial, sacrifice, victory and completion of the divine mandate of the author of the Christian faith.

He urged everyone to internalize the virtues of sacrifice, patience, love and abiding faith which are the core principles that Christianity is built upon, this, if done, will make Nigerians have a better tomorrow that has been symbolized in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Nations, he noted, can be developed and grow bigger when importance is attached to the virtues of love, sacrifice for one another, patience and hope for a better future.

Professor Durodoye, who called on Nigerians to remain committed, faithful, hopeful, emphasized the need for all to continue to support President Bola Tinubu’s efforts in building a better society that would be devoid of rampant insecurity, while praying that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will open a window for a better Nigeria with hard work and prayers.  

‘As we celebrate this unique occasion, let us keep in mind the significance of the season, which is the perfect demonstration of sacrificial love to others. As the lent ended in triumph, the season should also rekindle our hope of victory over personal and communal challenges.

 I pray that the triumph of Christ will encourage all people of faith to be hopeful of victory against trials and challenges, whether as individuals or as a nation. 

Our nation is faced with rampant insecurity from Boko Haram Insurgents, bandits’ attacks, kidnapping, herders/farmers clashes that are not only affecting the economy and the progress of the nation but threatening its existence.

I call on all to pray for peace and security as we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ’ he added -Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
