As Nigerians join the rest of Christians across the globe to mark Easter celebration, the President, Change Agent Foundation International (CAFI), Hon. Dipo Okeyomi Carry Go called on Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of peace, love, sacrifice and forgiveness which are the lessons of Easter.


Hon. Okeyomi, in an Easter message through his Media aide, Lateef Olawale said: “As we join Christians all over the world to celebrate this Easter, I urge the faithful Christians in Ojokoro LCDA, Lagos  State and Nigeria at large to imbibe the core values of Christianity and the lessons of the season which are sacrifice, love, sharing and forgiveness of sins.


“We should remember that the progenitor of the Christian faith is also known as the Prince of Peace and we should, therefore, embrace peace and maintain the peace which we have enjoyed in the past years.


“As we celebrate, we should not forget to extend a hand of fellowship to the less-privileged among us as Christ taught us to love our neighbours as our ourselves.


“Carry Go extend his appreciation to the Christian faithful and people of other faith in Change Agent Foundation International CAFI for the love they have generously showered on him and the prevailing peace in the State, I appeal to them to continue to maintain this peace now and beyond.”


Furthermore, he said it was a period for sober reflection, he challenged Christians to be more prayerful, imploring them to assist government by making more sacrifices to vulnerable in their respective communities.


He said: “Jesus’ life exemplified sacrifice. He lived and died for humanity. No sacrifice could be greater than this. We can engage in eating and drinking. But it is also a period to emulate Christ and reflect on what sacrifice we can make to move the society forward.”


I wish you all Happy Easter.



E-Signed:

Hon. Oladipupo Okeyomi Carry Go

CAFI President
