Rasaq Ibrahim, Ado-Ekiti
EKITI State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has called on Christian faithful in the state and the country to make use of the Easter period to pray for God’s intervention to overcome the Coronavirus pandemic.
Fayemi urged the people not to allow their spirits to be dampened by the raging pandemic and the attendant lockdown in many states, but to have faith that it will be overcome.
The governor, in a statement in Ado-Ekiti yesterday by his Chief Press Secretary, Yinka Oyebode, felicitates with Christians in the state and the country, saying witnessing the Easter is a special grace from God in view of prevailing situation all over the world.

He called on Christians and adherents of other faiths to emulate the sacrifice and selflessness of Jesus Christ in their daily lives.
“This is certainly an unusual time. The coronavirus has altered many plans and programmes. Yet we should be grateful to God for being alive to witness another Easter celebration. While we celebrate the season without the usual festivities, we should however spare some time to pray earnestly to God to help us overcome the present circumstance,” he said.
