Easter message: Pastor Ize-Iyamu sees hope ahead 

Read below, the 2020 Easter message of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu:

 "Easter is a special celebration for Christians that serves as a reminder of the selfless love and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ and his victory over death. 

 We know that for many across the globe, and in our dear Edo state, the celebration will be different this year. The outbreak of COVID-19 has made certain restrictions necessary and confined us to our homes. This, alongside the apocalyptic scenes in some parts of the world, has caused many to worry and despair.

 Some are wondering if things will ever get back to normal and if we will ever be able to commune, dine and celebrate together again. 

 I wish to say to everyone that there is hope; hope that humanity shall prevail especially if we follow all health guidelines by reporting symptoms, staying at home, practicing good personal hygiene, and obeying government regulations.

 There is hope when we embody the selfless love of Christ by looking out for our neighbors and taking responsible actions that do not put our communities at risk. We must also have hope that just as Christ rose from the darkness of the grave on the third day, we will also emerge from this dark alley stronger and together as a people.

 On behalf of my wife, Professor Idia Ize Iyamu, and my family, I wish you all a solemn Good Friday and a happy Easter."

 Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
