According to the statement, Jesus Christ paid the sacrifice for humanity out of complete obedience to the will of the Almighty God.
“We have to learn the spirit of brotherhood, selflessness and humility from the way Jesus Christ lived his life.
“Our nation and Oyo State need men and women who are committed to the service of humanity for us to have an environment that will bring out the potential in all of us.
“The task ahead requires the support of all Nigerians irrespective of religious and ethnic leaning for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to succeed in its effort to drive Nigeria to the promised land,” the statement said.
Adelabu charged the Christian community in Oyo State to continue to work to sustain the prevalent peaceful atmosphere, which the incumbent administration has established since coming into power.
