Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has reiterated the commitment of his administration to the socio-economic and spiritual welfare of residents of the state.

The governor also pledged to remain non-partisan in religious matters and to continue supporting programs and projects that promote mutual respect and freedom of worship for all.

Prince Abiodun spoke at the 75th Diamond Adoption Thanksgiving Service of the Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim, Yewa Provincial Headquarters, held at the church auditorium in Ilaro, Ogun State.

The governor, represented by the Ogun State Head of Service (HoS), Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, emphasized that religious harmony is crucial for peaceful coexistence and the security of lives and property within the state, pointing out that it is incumbent upon both the Church and the Government to persistently work and pray for the common good of all.

He urged the church to continue striving for greater understanding among members and to align with the developmental goals of his administration by embracing positive values and virtues in tandem with the administration’s “Building Our Future Together” agenda.

Prince Abiodun also called on the Church to continue to seek God’s guidance for national unity and economic stability, as well as to keep praying for all political leaders for the betterment, growth, and development of the state and the nation at large.

He noted that with the constant prayers of spiritual leaders, Nigeria will emerge strong again in all things, as the church stands as the conscience of society that is helping the country to realize the aspirations of its founding fathers.

While appreciating the Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim and Seraphim, Yewa Provincial Headquarters, for not only promoting spiritual growth but also serving as a beacon of hope and support, especially in these trying times, Governor Abiodun said the church should continue offering comfort, guidance, and a strong sense of community, thereby fostering unity and creating a space where all will be welcomed.

Also speaking at the event, the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, represented by his immediate elder sister, Snr. Mother in Israel, Dupe Adeleke-Sanni, appreciated God for all His doings in the church and pledged the family’s commitment and dedication to the growth and development of the church.

Governor Adeleke charged the congregation to remain steadfast in promoting the church’s values and ethics.

The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide appreciated the clergy and the laity for the anniversary, pointing out that prayers have been the sustaining factor for the progress of the country.

Rt. Hon. Elemide solicited the continuous support of the church towards advancing the course of peace and progress in governance.

Earlier, in a sermon, the preacher, His Eminence Apostle Gideon Babalola, who spoke on the theme “Ye are Gods,” said all Christians are the children of God who were created in God’s image to take dominion over all things.

He urged all to move away from sin and return to the place God originally put man before his fall in order to remain relevant in the things of God.

He congratulated the congregants for being alive to witness the anniversary and advised all Christians to rise up and start taking on responsibilities in all they do in order to straighten all paths that are crooked.

In an appreciation note, the Chief Host at the event, Elder Biodun Sanyaolu, thanked the governors for their immense support towards the growth, development, and expansion of the church and solicited more support towards the completion of the church’s vicarage, which is billed to be commissioned soon.
