Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu urged Christians to prioritize love, unity and sacrifice during Easter celebrations. Speaking through his media aide Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu framed the holiday as a time to reflect on hope amid national challenges. The governor's message came during an interview ahead of the holiday weekend.
In the statement, Sanwo-Olu described Easter as a period to strengthen community bonds and reject division. He linked the season's themes to Nigeria's current realities, calling for collective resilience. Akosile confirmed the governor's remarks were issued in a prepared statement.
Sanwo-Olu's Easter sermon lands with hollow resonance when delivered by a leader whose state still grapples with fuel queues and insecurity. His call for unity rings especially hollow when his administration's policies have done little to ease the daily burdens most Lagosians face.
