Sanwo-Olu stated: “As Christians, this period offers us an opportunity to rethink our relationships as individuals, as communities and as a nation.’

“The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ typified love, affection and tolerance. It also marked the end of evil and beginning of good deeds.’’

With the coronavirus pandemic threatening to bring the entire world to its knees, Sanwo-Olu said the occasion of the resurrection of Jesus Christ should be a veritable avenue for all to show more love, kindness and care for one another.

The Governor said the citizens should join hands with the government in the fight against what he described as the ” common enemy.”

Sanwo-Olu added, “We must brace up and be ready to confront this scourge with uncommon resolve and dedication. We must not be deterred by the speed at which it is spreading, rather we must work harder to eradicate the pandemic and all that it stands for. As a government, we will do everything within our powers to rid the State of this unwanted guest.”

He however, commended residents for their steadfastness, resilience and cooperation with his administration since he assumed office.
