3rd April 2026
A former member of the National Assembly, Hon. Bukola Oyewo, has extended his felicitations to Christians in Osogbo Federal Constituency as they commemorate Good Friday, emphasizing the significance of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.
In a statement issued on Friday, April 3, 2026, Oyewo, an Osun APC chieftain, reflected on the true meaning of Good Friday and Easter, urging Christians to believe in Christ's death and resurrection, and to demonstrate their faith through righteous living.
He cited Matthew 7:21, stressing that mere profession of faith is insufficient, and that true discipleship requires obedience to God's will. The erstwhile Deputy Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Water Resources encouraged Christians to use Good Friday to reflect on their lives, make amends, and cultivate virtues such as faith, knowledge, temperance, patience, and charity, as enjoined by Apostle Peter in 2 Peter 1:5-7.
The former federal lawmaker urged them to pray fervently for the APC governorship candidate in Osun, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji as he seeks to deliver a progressive and prosperous state.
Oyewo concluded by wishing Christians a meaningful and joyous Good Friday celebration.
