EASTER CELEBRATIONS: HON. JOSEPH IKPEA FELICITATES THE PEOPLE OF EDO

A former Edo State commissioner for Oil, Gas and Solid Minerals and a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Hon. (Dr.) Joseph Ikpea, has urged the people of Edo State to continue imbibing the message of love, peace and sacrifice which our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ exemplifies.

In an Easter message released by his media aide, the former Esan South East local government chairman enjoined the people of the State “to love one another and be ready to sacrifice for the common good, just as our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, did for us, over two thousand years ago.

“Easter is a period of sacrifice, of the wholesome display of undiluted love, of the reawakening and renewal of our spirit of altruism and the embrace of salvation, and redemption which our Lord and Saviour paid for, on the Cross.

“As we celebrate this important event in the Christian calendar, I urge you to continue to love one another, reach out to those who may be going through difficult moments and assure them to remain hopeful and optimistic.

“We should work to expand the layers of our unity and deemphasize those things that divide us.

“Happy Easter and God bless us all”!
