As Christians all over the world mark the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has called on all faithfuls to rededicate their lives to sacrifice, love, peace and tolerance.
Omo-Agege who made this call in a message signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the DSP, Mr. Yomi Odunuga, urged Christians to imbibe the lesson of Easter and appreciate the supreme sacrifice that heralded the death on the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Deputy President of the Senate further emphasized that the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ should serve as a model and guide for human existence.
He said: “Easter celebrates Christians’ belief in the divine power of Jesus and the hope that loss leads to something new.
“Jesus’ death was a sacrifice for the sins of others, but his resurrection represents something even more powerful: the potential for rebirth, salvation, restoration, rejuvenation and renewal of faith.
“The important message of Easter is love for humanity and this Christ-like virtue must be converted into a citizen’s will towards national integration and harmony between the various religious and ethnic sections of the country”, the National Lawmaker said.
Meanwhile, Senator Omo-Agege has commended Deltans for their show of love as they turned massively to demonstrate their love and support during his recent declaration to run for the Governorship seat of the State in 2023.
He reiterated his plan to build a new Delta State, adding that his government will focus on employment, empowerment, development, good governance and enduring security, EDGE.
“Like I noted in my declaration, Delta Central is my comfort zone, if l want to run re-election over and over again, l am confident that my people will return me, but l have decided to step out of my comfort zone and bring the same benefits to the whole of Delta State.
“I want an opportunity to also bring the same dividends of democracy to Delta South and Delta North because what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. We can’t continue to allow Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and PDP to continue to marginalize us”, he said.
