•Bishop of Kwara Diocese, Rev Sunday Adewole
The Bishop of the Diocese of Kwara, Anglican Communion, Dr Sunday Adewole, said that though the government is trying, the country is still being ravaged by hunger.
This came as the cleric urged Nigerians to embrace righteousness, charity, and hope in the face of economic hardship, reports The PUNCH.
Adewole spoke during the 2025 Easter Sunday service at the Cathedral of Saint Barnabas Church, Sabo-Oke, Ilorin, Kwara State.
In his sermon titled,” The Significance of Christ’s Resurrection for Christians”, the bishop highlighted the power and purpose of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, describing it as the foundation of the Christian faith and a symbol of freedom, forgiveness, and victory over death.
He said, “Through his resurrection, we are free from eternal damnation. His resurrection brought us salvation. If he had failed to rise, all the promises of heaven would have been lost. It is in him we live and move. His resurrection reminds us that there is life after death and a judgment to come, and this should drive us to do well and live according to God’s word.”
Adewole urged Christians to be expectant of the second coming of Christ and not to neglect acts of love, charity, and service to God and humanity while waiting.
He also used the opportunity to appeal to the government at all levels to intensify efforts at addressing the economic challenges facing citizens, saying, “The government is trying, but we are still hungry. We are like Oliver Twist — we ask for more. They should lead with the fear of God and do more to ease the suffering in the land.”
The bishop prayed to God to grant Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of the state divine wisdom to administer the state.
