The Accord Party candidate for Osun Central Senatorial District, Aare Ganiyu Olaoluwa Asejere, has called on Christian and Muslim clerics across Osun State to intensify advocacy on security consciousness during worship services, saying greater public vigilance is essential to addressing the growing security challenges facing the country.
In a Sunday message to residents of Osun Central, Asejere urged churches, the League of Imams and Alfas, and other religious bodies to dedicate part of their sermons to educating worshippers on the importance of remaining security conscious and vigilant while praying for God's continued protection over the state and the nation.
He expressed gratitude to God for His faithfulness and mercy, noting that divine grace had sustained the people despite the challenges confronting the country.
"I would like to appreciate and acknowledge God's kindness and faithfulness that have seen us through the adversities of this world," he said.
Addressing worshippers across the senatorial district, Asejere urged them to reflect on God's enduring faithfulness as they gathered for Sunday services.
"My esteemed constituents of Osun Central, as we gather at our various worship centres to offer our sincere sacrifices of praise and adoration to the Ancient of Days, let us remember God's faithfulness, which has sustained us thus far," he stated.
Asejere also appealed to religious leaders to complement government efforts by using their platforms to promote security awareness among citizens.
"May I call on the Body of Christ and the League of Imams and Alfas in Osun Central and indeed Osun State as a whole and its environs to consider it a point of duty to dedicate a portion of their services to preaching on the importance of being security conscious and vigilant. May we continue to enjoy God's divine protection," he said.
Asejere further called for prayers for victims of abduction, expressing hope that they would soon regain their freedom.
"It is also important to remember our brothers and sisters who are currently in captivity. Let us pray that God will deliver them from the hands of their abductors," he added.
Looking ahead to the new week, Asejere sought the continued support and prayers of the people for the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke, his own senatorial bid, and other Accord Party candidates contesting elective offices.
He wished residents a peaceful Sunday worship and a productive week, praying that the new week would bring abundant blessings and favour to all.
