*HON. SYLVESTER ABIODUN SENDS GOODWILL MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS @EASTER*


Ogun State House of Assembly member representing Ijebu North State constituency 1 (Ijebu Igbo) at the State's hallowed chamber, Hon. Sylvester 'Niyi Abiodun has congratulated the Christian community in Nigeria on the Easter celebration, and added that the celebration is a worthy finale to the period of fasting, prayer and self denial which they had gone through in the past forty (40) days of Lent.

In a press statement released by his Media Office, the lawmaker urged the Christian faithful and Nigerians of other faiths to see the sacrifice and deprivation of the period preceding Easter as similar to the sacrifice and perseverance which the present situation of the country provides and which would finally terminate with celebration and merry-making when the difficult period is over.

Abiodun advised Christians to learn from the pain, joy, love and vare which characterised the period of Lent and the Easter celebration, and allow these virtues to continually guide us as a people in our individual and community relationships. He prayed for peace and prosperity for all Nigerians and urged them to enjoy a stress-free and violence-free celebrarion.
