Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has urged Christian faithful to reflect on the sacrifice and love Jesus Christ showed on mankind through His crucifixion and resurrection.

Sanwo-Olu, in his Easter message, rejoiced with Christians in the state as they celebrate this year’s Easter.

The governor implored residents to continue to live in peace, love and harmony, noting that good neighbourliness, selflessness, patience, and love were among the several lessons taught and exemplified by Jesus Christ.

He said: “Today, I wish all Lagosians and Christians across the country and other parts of the world a Happy Easter as we remember the sacrifice and love of Jesus towards mankind.

“As we commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I want Lagosians and Nigerians in general to make togetherness and unity of the country the central goal of our nationality.

“Let us all emulate the virtues of Jesus Christ by simply impacting the lives of friends, colleagues, associates, neighbours and family members, as well as contributing to the growth and development of our dear Lagos State and Nigeria.” (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
