As Christians all over the world are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the education secretary of Ona-Ara local government Hon Folarin Wasiu Tunde (FOWAT) has enjoined all Christians and citizens of Oyostate and Nigeria as a whole to make use of the lesson learnt from the just concluded lent and the message passed through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
“Yet this Easter, there is a feeling of hopelessness hovering above us, a feeling of despair over what is happening in our country. Some people are finding it a little hard to be hopeful in the current political climate, where loved ones are being deported — some sorely unfairly — and where there seems to be little or nothing to be hopeful about. Even at Eastertime.
Let me try to lift your spirits. It was about this time of the year, over 2,000 years ago, when it seemed to some that all hope was lost. Jesus Christ, the one who had been born to bring peace on earth, was himself the victim of unfathomable violence.
It was a dark time for Jesus’ followers. But even in what seemed to be the end, some believers still held on to the hope that He had given them that there would be a resurrection day.”
Hon Folarin used the medium to enjoined the citizens of Oyo State to continue their support for the present administration under Engr Seyi Makinde in order to lift the state to greater height. He also rejoices with all PDP leaders in the state and Ona-Ara local government.
He felicitates with Ona-Ara LGUBEA staffs, teachers in Ona-Ara local government under the present leadership of Comrade Titilolu Ibukunolu Sunday, the AOHPSON, ANCOPSS, and pray that almighty God will spare our lives to witness more of this on earth.
“It is significant to me that Easter and Passover usually arrive during springtime, when new seedlings pop their heads up out of the soil and birds prepare their nests for soon-to-arrive hatchlings and where the signs of new beginnings are evident everywhere, Folarin said.
