That was the message of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on the occasion of Easter Sunday, according to a statement by his media aide, Laolu Akande, on Sunday.
In a brief chat with journalists shortly after the Easter Sunday service at the Aso Villa Chapel, Abuja, the Vice President called on all Nigerians to show love to one another. “My message is contained in the scripture in John 3:16, ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life.’
