Christians have been urged to use the occasion of Easter to strive to sustain the love, peace and unity of the Nation as elections approaches.

The Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Mr. Timothy Owoeye made the call in a statement by his media aide, Mr Kunle Alabi.

Mr Owoeye said there shouldn’t be any sacrifice too big for the peace, development and unity of Nigeria as shown by the love of Christ Jesus to the world.

While condemning the increasing cases of domestic violence and battering that is on the increase across the nation, The Speaker stressed the need for  Nigerians  to support government to contain issues of domestic violence, banditry and terrorism.

He also urged members of the Public to report  People  with doubtful characters to law enforcement agencies.

Quoting from 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, the Speaker said, “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

The statement quoted in part, “We should let the significance of Easter reflect in our relationship with one another. There is no price too much for a true Nigerian to pay for the peace of the land, we must love one another irrespective of our tribe as exemplified by Christ.

“We must not put everything at the doors of our leaders, we as citizens must strive for a better, peaceful country that we can all call our own.

“If we love one another, elections will not be seen as a do-or-die affair but a process that must bring change and developments to our communities.

“The peace and unity of the country is not negotiable as we inch into elections, we must all be  disposed to actions that will bring about free and fair election, going forward, we will all have good leadership of our desire”.
