Babajide Sanwo-olu observe social distancing and stay at home by worshiping with his wife online via the Redeemed Christian Church of GOD platform.
"My wife and I worshiped online for #Easter, praying for our family, Lagos and Nigeria.
Easter offers us an opportunity to rethink our relationships as individuals, as communities and as a nation as we face these extraordinary times together".
The Governor also sent his Easter message to Lagosians:
"I want to use this opportunity to congratulate Christians in the state on the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and implore them to emulate Christ’s virtues of humility, perseverance, compassion and sacrifice. Whilst I urge citizens to reflect on how best to positively impact the lives of friends, family, neighbours and colleagues, let us as Christian faithfuls continue to live in peace and harmony with believers in other faiths across the state.
Whilst we want you to enjoy the Easter celebration, I implore residents to continue to observe the restriction order, by not meeting up with friends/family and not visit public spots, hitherto reserved for this type of celebration. The disregard of this restriction order could have serious implications and it is imperative we are guided by the restriction order/social distancing strategy, during this Easter celebration and for as long as the directive lasts.
The last few weeks have been quite challenging for every one of us, be you an essential worker, or you are working from home, juggling childcare, home schooling and work at the same time. I want to say thank you to every single person who has complied with the Federal Government’s ‘stay-at-home' directive and our social distancing guidelines. Essentially, you have helped our frontline health workers save lives of Lagosians in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic break out.
Finally let me thank Lagosians, for their perseverance during this trying period and I wish you a peaceful and happy Easter celebration. May the resurrection of Christ bring you abundant joy, peace, strength and love. Thank you.
