Easter: Osun PDP’s Babayemi calls for religious harmony, prayers for party’s victory in guber polls

The factional Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Prince Dotun Babayemi, has called for religious harmony and tolerance among Nigerians, as Christians celebrate Easter.

Babayemi, in a statement by his Director of Media Campaign Organisation, Kayode Oladeji, on Friday in Osogbo, said lack of such understanding, could continue to breed conflicts, which could be creating more security challenges in the country.

He said there is need for more cooperation among Nigerians, irrespective of their religions and tribes.

“Regardless of where one belongs, whether Christianity, Islam or any other religion, 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

He 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” he said.

Babayemi also 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.
