PRESS STATEMENT
The Governorship candidate on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), His Excellency, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi FNIM OON, has charged Christians to imbibe the virtues of love, sacrifice and tolerance as espoused by our Lord Jesus Christ in commemoration of Good Friday.
Gbagi gave the charge on Friday April 7th 2023 in his message to mark Good Friday, a Christian holiday in preparation for the Easter celebration.
The former minister of state for education and a Catholic devotee, said, “Good Friday is a day of reflection, repentance, and gratitude for the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross for the redemption of mankind.
“It is a time to renew our faith in God and recommit ourselves to acts of kindness, compassion, and service to others.
“As we reflect on the events of Good Friday, let us take the opportunity to consider the many challenges that we face as a people particularly as a State, knowing that just as Jesus Christ suffered and died for us, we too must be willing to make sacrifices and work together to build a better, progressive and prosperous state and nation for us and our unborn generations.
“I urge us all to use this occasion to reflect on the values of sacrifice, love, and unity that Jesus Christ exemplified during his time on earth. Let us come together as one people, irrespective of our differences, to work towards a brighter future for ourselves, our families, and our communities.”
“On behalf of my immediate family and SDP, I wish all our Christian brothers and sisters a blessed and peaceful Good Friday”, Gbagi said.
