Rt. Hon. Samuel Mayowa Akinfolarin has asked christians to follow the steps of Lord Jesus Christ as they celebrate His death and resurrection. Quoting different bible references, the Ondo APC gubernatorial aspirant in the forthcoming 2024 election urged them to remain steadfast and adhere to the teachings in Philippians 2:5.
According to the former Deputy Speaker of the Ondo House of Assembly, people who exude the traits of holiness and embrace spirituality are naturally good leaders, in any setting. Akinfolarin, also quoting 1st John 2:6, believes Nigeria will be better if ‘we Nigerian Christians abide in Christ and walk the same way he walked.
‘I have lived all my life to be a good Christian. I continue to practice the teachings in the Bible. The ninth verse of the eight chapter of Romans is my main watchword. Anyone who does not have the spirit of Jesus Christ does not belong to him.
‘The essence of Easter is defeated if we do not embrace His ways. His death on the Calvary will be meaningless if we shy away from His teachings. What will become of His resurrection if, as believers, His path is not ours? After all, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.’
A two-term member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Akinfolarin is a devout Christian who continues to preach and practice humanity, humility, tolerance, sincerity, respect, honesty and loyalty to his people and constituents- traits that distinguish him from the general lots.
