Mrs. Christianah Monisade Afuye, the deputy governor of Ekiti State, has urged the people of that state to have unwavering faith in Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s ability to keep the promises he made during the campaign to fight the country’s poverty and insecurity.
Despite the many difficulties the country is facing, she urged them to remain optimistic and reassured them that thanks to Governor Oyebanji and his team’s dedication, better and more glorious days are on the way.
In this time of national uncertainty, Afuye urged the populace to show uncommon patriotism by exposing saboteurs who collaborate with evildoers to undermine security and cause heinous murders, abductions, and economic hardship.
This was stated by Afuye in a greeting for the Christmas holiday that was sent out on Friday and was signed by her Special Assistant for Media, Victor Ogunje.
According to the deputy governor, Christians must constantly demonstrate the urge to benefit humanity by following Jesus Christ’s teachings on love, joy, sacrifice, and community.
With Christian support and prayers for their leaders and government at all levels, she vowed that the nation will overcome its current security and economic problems and emerge stronger and better.
She also called for the peaceful coexistence of all Ekiti citizens, regardless of their political and religious beliefs, and she issued a warning that fanaticism breeds hatred, instability, and the senseless murder of unarmed civilians.
She urged them to ensure that Ekiti State becomes a state that is a model for others while urging them to celebrate modestly and in accordance with Jesus Christ’s directive.
She uttered: “The lesson in this celebration is love, togetherness, sacrifice, piety, generosity, liberty and purity of hearts and souls as adumbrated by Jesus Christ in the holy book.
“Let all Ekiti indigenes have faith in the government of Governor Biodun Oyebanji and instil the good virtues exhibited by Jesus Christ in their hearts and dealings in the quest to building a state that is progressive, peaceful, stable, and incorruptible.”
