In a statement  released in Ibadan by his media office, Professor Akande said the Easter is with celebrating for anyone who is alive at this time, given what humanity has witnessed since the beginning of the Corona Virus pandemic.

Akande said hundreds of thousands of people have died since the beginning of the pandemic and that who ever has the grace to be alive should be grateful to God for His grace.

“We are not alive because we are wise or pius but by the special grace of God. This occasion therefore calls for thansgiving on the part of everyone who is alive”, the statement said.

The APC chieftain who noted that Nigeria is presently going through trying times implored the people of Oyo State to use the occasion to pray for God’s intervention to restore peace and normalcy in the country.

He said the Easter is a symbolic occasion when Christians should pray to God that every good thing that is dead in the lives of Nigerians should rise.

The deputy governor also expressed appreciation to God for sparing and protecting  the lives of people of the state, especially the Christian faithful to witness and celebrate the Easter season.

He enjoined the residents to continue to support  the Seyi Makinde-led government in the state, urging them to remain steadfast, patient and hopeful.

He called on Christians in the state and beyond not to take lightly the price Christ paid for their salvation and to continue to remain connected to Jesus Christ who died for the living and sustenance of all.

Olaniyan noted that Jesus Christ had paid the price for all, thus becomes important and necessary that the Christians learn from His death and resurrection.

“In the spirit of the season, be your brother’s keeper. This is the period, also to get connected to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ by practice, who died so that we may be saved”, Olaniyan urged.
