Easter: Obaseki Urges Christians To Emulate Virtues of Christ

In commemoration of Good Friday, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has tasked Christians in every part of the country to imbibe the virtues of tolerance, love and selflessness which were known of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The governor said this in his message to mark Good Friday, a Christian holiday in preparation for the Easter celebration.

According to him: “As the Christian faithful celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary, I urge everyone to take this opportunity to reflect on the significance of this day, which embodies Christ’s love for mankind, by imbibing the virtues of love, tolerance and selflessness.

“It is only when we are able to tolerate and accommodate others; love one another irrespective of religious, political, ethnic, or ideological differences, and live selflessly as Jesus Christ did by sacrificing his life on the cross, that we will be able to tackle the many challenges facing us as a country and people.”

Obaseki further stated: “As we celebrate Good Friday, I urge all to be our brother’s keeper, uphold the spirit of togetherness and remain resolute on our love for God and our nation.”
