Kareem Tajudeen Abisodun, Member representing Saki West, Saki East and Atisbo Federal Constituency also doubled as the Chairman House Committee on Aviation Technology has extended warm felicitations to all Christian faithful across Oyo State and Nigeria.
In a goodwill message issued through the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Sheu Shittu Maigida to commemorate the Easter celebrations, the lawmaker underscored the spiritual and moral essence of the season, describing it as a time for deep reflection, mutual love, and rededication to shared values that transcend religious boundaries.

He noted that these virtues are critically needed in today’s Nigeria, where social cohesion and national development must be driven by collective responsibility and faith in the country’s future.
“This holy season reminds us of the extraordinary power of sacrifice, renewal, and hope,” he said. “I urge Christians to continue to draw inspiration from the life and resurrection of Christ, using the occasion to pray fervently for peace, unity, and the sustainable development of Oyo State and Nigeria at large.”
