As Christians all over the world mark Palm Sunday, the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Kwara State, Bishop Sunday Adewole, has called on leaders at all levels in the country to be humble in the discharge of their duties
Adewole gave the charge while addressing Christians on the importance of Palm Sunday during a Palm Sunday procession in Ilorin, Kwara State capital on Sunday.
Thousands of Christians in Ilorin, the state capital, joined their counterparts across the world on Sunday to celebrate Palm Sunday, commemorating the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.
Waving palm fronds and chanting “Hosanna,” worshippers from various denominations embarked on a grand procession that began from Saint Barnabas Cathedral, Sabo-Oke, at about 8:45 am.
The joyful march lasted over four hours, winding through major roads, including Muritala Way, Maraba, Ipata, Taiwo, and Unity Road, before returning to the cathedral for final prayers.
Another group of worshippers commenced their walk from First Baptist Church, Surulere, and merged with the larger crowd at Unity Junction, showcasing a powerful symbol of Christian unity and devotion.
During the celebration, the CAN chairman urged Christians to embody the virtues of humility and love, reflecting the example set by Jesus during His entry into Jerusalem.
According to him, Jesus Christ riding on a donkey signifies humbleness which all leaders should emulate.
“Jesus rode on a colt to teach us humility and service. As Christians and Nigerians, we must be humble, embrace peace and show love to our neighbours. This is the only way we can build a better society,” he said.
