As Christians around the world celebrate this year’s Easter festival,the gubernatorial candidate of the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Omooba Dotun Babayemi,has called for religious harmony and tolerance among adherents.
Lack of such understanding,Babayemi warned,would continue to breed conflicts which could be creating more security challenges in the country.
In his Easter message to the people as espoused in a statement issued by his Media Office,he stressed the need for more cooperation among faithful of different religions.
“Regardless of where one belongs to; whether Christians,Muslims or any other,we remain brothers and sisters.As the creations of the Almighty,we remain congenially bonded. We all have the latitude to believe in any faith we so desire without any friction” he added
The governorship candidate advised that the import of Easter’s lessons must not be lost, adding that entrenched virtues such as selflessness,sacrifice and humility, must be imbibed for the sake of humanity.
“If we can all imbibe these virtues,then our problems as a people, will be considerably ameliorated.We were never created for ourselves alone, rather we are spared and preserved for the good of others” the Gbongan-born Prince explained
Meanwhile, Babayemi has implored Christians and adherents of other religions to continue to pray for the successful outcome of the coming gubernatorial election in the state, particularly for the victory of the PDP at the polls.
