The lawmaker representing Saki East/ATISBO state constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Saminu Ridwan, has charged christians to rally round this season of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ by expressing more love to one another irrespective of religion or tribal affiliation.
Wale Canada, as he is popularly known, pointed out that, that’s the only way the country can get more united and turning out to be a more habitable place for all.
He made this known in an Easter message personally signed and made available to journalists by his executive adviser on political matters Abdulfatai Adeyemi, during the weekend.
According to the statement, “It is with great joy that I send this goodwill message on this very important celebration in the Christian dome. EASTER CELEBRATION. The reason for the salvation of mankind.
“Today we begin the journey of salvation with GOOD FRIDAY where our Lord Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross to resurrect on the third day which is Easter Sunday to redeem us. May the reason for His death and resurrection be fulfilled in our lives and all our endeavours.
“I urge us all as a progressive Nigerians to reflect on our lives and embrace the goodness of God who created us in His image and likeness and be discouraged to show selfishness and love of worldly gratification and uphold the dignity of self-sacrifice and love for one another as Jesus did on the cross for our salvation”, he added.
Reacting to the 2023 general election, he urged the Nigerian youths to brace up and synergize for the sole purpose of installing good leaders like Governor Seyi Makinde in Oyo State, who, he said, is the only governor in Nigeria that ever recognizes the youths in decision making parlance as the time to do more is near come 2023.
“I urge my fellow Nigerians and mostly the members of the most strongest arms “YOUTHS” to go for their PVCs as elections draw closer. It hurts me when I hear youths say vol otes don’t count. I now ask, if it doesn’t count, why then do the politicians buy votes?
“This is an ignorant statement that must be ignored. PVC is a must-get for all Nigerian Youths as it is the only weapon to fight bad governance and install good leaders”, he added.
