In an Easter message released by his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, this reserved and notable woman noted the divine love of God for mankind as confirmed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ which is celebrated by Christians all over the world at Easter.
She emphasized that such love, spread among neighbours, will help to put Nigeria in an enviable position among the comity of nations.
According to Olubunmi Ojo, Easter is a time to give thanks for the new life given through Christ's resurrection as love comes before other considerations for a society's existence or progress.
"It is love that propels peace. It is love that makes leaders want to act right, it is love that helps the followers to live in unity. Even Jesus noted that loving your neighbour is one of the most important commandments of God.
"It is love that will help us build faith in Nigeria as a Nation and grow it further from where it currently stands. With love, there can't be cases of man's inhumanity to man.
"Just as Easter allows us to understand the importance of love and forgiveness, I want to urge Nigerians to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with sober reflection on His virtues and the lessons He left behind," DREAMFO Chairman said.
Olubunmi Ojo further urged Christians to use the opportunity of the celebration to pray for a better Nigeria, as well as divine wisdom for the leaders of the country.
She therefore pray that "May the risen Christ fill our hearts with joy, bring all Christians new hope, and bless with peace.
Happy Easter!
