The Real Victories Are Those of Peace – Dr Adebayo Adams Says, Celebrates “World Peace Day”.

Oyo State House of Assembly Hopeful, from Ibadan Northwest Constituency, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Dr Yusuf Adebayo Adams has greeted people on the occasion of this year International Day of Peace, established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly.

“Happy World Peace Day! The real and lasting victories are those of peace and not of war. So, let’s promote peace and harmony, on earth. Let’s all tolerate each other, to make our world more peaceful and habitable”, Adams stated.

“May peace continue to reign in our land. Let’s embrace peace and preach peace. May God continue blessing our mother earth and her inhabitants”, he prayed.

The International Day of Peace, also known as World Peace Day is observed every year on 21 September. This day is celebrated around the world to strengthen the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.

World Peace Day promotes global solidarity for building a peaceful and sustainable world.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), in February 2021, unanimously passed a resolution calling for Member States to support a “sustained humanitarian pause” to local conflicts. According to the official website of UN, the global ceasefire must continue to be honoured, to ensure people caught in conflict have access to lifesaving vaccinations and treatments.

This year, 2021, the theme of International Day of Peace is “Recovering better for an equitable and sustainable world”. It focuses on how to help everyone recover better, how to build resilience, and how to transform our world into a place that is more equal, more just, equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and healthier.
