Arc. Giwa, in his message of hope to Christians and the entire people of Oyo State, expressed that as they are celebrating Easter, they should remember to follow and observe the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control’s (NCDC) directives and guidelines to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus.
He enjoined them to be obedient and respect the will of those in positions of authority as contained in the teachings and doctrines of Jesus Christ, whose resurrection is being celebrated.

His words, “Let us display good character, let us love ourselves and let us promote peaceful coexistence among ourselves. This will enable us to jointly win the battle and heal our land against coronavirus disease. Easter season avails us the opportunity to seek the face of God and ask for mercy and forgiveness at this trying time.
“We must come together and pray to God to save us, as we maintain our social distancing, keep proper hygiene and follow all other directives and guidelines established by the authorities to ensure that we send the deadly virus out of our land,” Arc. Giwa said.
