The Bishop of Lagos North Diocese, Methodist Church Nigeria, Rt. Rev. Olu Akinola has called on Christians and Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, ethnicity and class, to live in peace and holiness through their words, deeds and actions.
He made the call during the 7th annual conference of the Diocese Women Fellowship held at the Methodist Cathedral, Agege, Lagos.
“To manifest the fruit of the spirit, we must daily promote peace and live a life of holiness among ourselves, because without holiness, there cannot be peace and progress, and to make progress, we must depend on holiness to experience peace and peace for progress,” said Akinola.
He therefore urged Nigerians to live a life of holiness and peace through determined efforts.
Highlight of the conference was a special recognition award of honour to the wife of Lagos State governor, Abimbola Ambode, who was described as an epitome of encouragement to women, and a strong pillar of support to the amazing success recorded by the governor in the state.
The wife of the governor, who was represented by Bose Shodimu, in her remarks appreciated the honour bestowed on her and reiterated that the ultimate dream of the state governor was to see residents of the state live in a comfortable and stable environment of a mega status.
She appealed to the state residents to continue supporting, encouraging and cooperating with the state government in ensuring that Lagos works and that there is progress for all.
