Sen. Adeola urges prayer for national peace, security

The senator representing Lagos West, Solomon Adeola (APC) has called on all Nigerians to pray for peace and security amidst serious insecurity in the country.

In his Easter message Friday, he appealed to all to practise the Christian virtues of sacrifice, patience, love and abiding faith for a better tomorrow as exemplified in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

According to him, it is not possible to develop any society where the Christian virtues of love, sacrifices for one another, patience and hope for a better future are lacking.

“Our nation is faced with rampant insecurity from Boko Haram Insurgents, bandits’ attacks, kidnapping, herders/farmers clashes that are not only hampering the progress of the nation but threatening its existence. In addition to joining efforts at resolving these challenges, I call on all to pray for peace and security during the celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,” he said.

He called on Nigerians to remain hopeful and support the government’s efforts in the challenge of building a better society devoid of rampant insecurity adding that as the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ opened a window for salvation of sinners to make heaven, there is hope for a better Nigeria with hard work and prayers
