He said “we should be hopeful in an hopeless situation because the lord is there he has the ability to turn things around for good.
Speaking on the essence of Easter festivities, Bishop Adewole said “Easter celebration is the resurrection of the lord Jesus Christ, today Jesus rose to defeat Satan and to open the gate of eternity for believers, today is so important because if there is no resurrection there will be no Christianity. He rose that is why we have confidence to know that even after living this world there will be place in the Kingdom” he said

“The Easter festivities come at a unique moment in our national life when we have just elected new representatives and chief executives to pilot the affairs of the country for the next four years. In the spirit of the Easter, and of the Muslim’s holy month of Ramadan, we need to bury the hard feelings that came with electioneering campaign and join new leaders for the task of nation building — a task that requires everyone to support every effort for sustainable growth and development,” the Governor said in the statement.
“I wish everyone greater strides and glad tidings as we celebrate the festivities.” He said
