As Christians all over the world commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the All Progressives Congress APC Ondo State has tasked Christians to emulate the religious teachings of Jesus Christ to build love and unity in the country.
The Ondo state Chairman of the party, Mr Ade Adetimehin, on Sunday in a statement signed by Mr Alex Kalejaye, the Publicity Secretary of APC in Akure said thus; “We urge Christians to be guided by the ideals and virtues that the Lord Jesus Christ lived and died for, in their lives and conducts.
“That is a sure way to make meaning of the supreme sacrifice. We view religion as a tool to fortify unity, tolerance and love for the adherents and neighbours; with that, confession would become an easy task,’’ Adetimehin stated.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria NAN report, the party chieftain felicitated with Christians in the state and across the country on the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, enjoining leaders in all capacities to emphasise and preach the message of compassion, hope, justice, fairness and equity, within their folds, in the spirit of Easter. He also gave members of APC in Akure assurance of the party’s determination to promote their interest and welfare.
“We must continue to build confidence among ourselves and consistently harp on qualitative governance to reposition our party for victory in future elections. We commend the display of understanding by all the stakeholders in the state thus far and urge them to continue to work for the unity and development of the party,’’ he said.
