Mrs. Kafayat Oyetola, wife of the Osun State Governor, has sued for peaceful coexistence, neighbourliness, love and harmonious relationship among the citizens.
She implored residents particularly women, to support the administration with prayers.
Mrs. Oyetola urged them to be hopeful in the ability of the administration to take the state to the next level of development.
The Osun First Lady gave the appeal on Sunday during a special Church Service marking the first Sunday of the first month of 2019.
The prayer and worship session which was held at the Government House Chapel, Osogbo was attended by religious leaders, members of the state House of Assembly, wives of government officials, market women and political groups, among others.
Mrs. Oyetola who was represented by the wife of the Head of Service, Mrs. Kikelomo Olowogboyega, said the time had come for the citizens to take the advantage of the New Year to hand over the governance of the state to God for prosperity and stability.
She urged the people to renew their faith in God and always put God first in all they do.
Mrs. Oyetola who described 2019 as year of hope, blessing and divine favour, assured the residents of even distribution of resources and by extension the dividends of democracy.
While calling on the citizens to vote for the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the general elections.
She said: “Sincerely, President Muhammadu Bahari and other APC governments in Nigeria have made us proud, they have kept promises made to us and they have not disappointed us.
“As we enter 2019, the year of general election, I appeal to all to support our governments at the centre, state and local levels by voting massively for APC.”
“Let’s renew our hope in the present government, lets support them with prayers, lets return President Muhammadu Buhari to government and other APC candidates for quality leadership and good governance”, she added.
Member Osun House of Assembly representing Ife-North State Constituency, Babatunde Olatunji and former Special Adviser to the Governor on Culture and Tourism, Mrs. Taiwo Oluga expressed gratitude to God on behalf of the citizens of the state for witnessing the New Year particularly first Sunday of the year.
They called on the people of the state to maintain peace and harmony which the state is known before, during and after the general elections.
The duo, however, canvassed for support for the present administration in the state and Nigeria at large by voting for all the candidates of the APC in the general elections.
In his sermon, Pastor Testimony Onifade admonished the people of the state to shun act capable of truncating the peace in the state.
He called for the fear of God among the citizens, urging residents in the state to always put God forward in all they do.
