PARIS, SEPTEMBER 25, 2016: (DGW) Nigeria's Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says President Buhari is the only person ordained by God to navigate Nigeria through stormy waters under the existing circumstances.
He advised Nigerians to “be strong and of good courage” saying Nigeria will “prosper” despite the current economic challenges.
He made this disclosure while speaking at the 56th independence anniversary inter-denominational church service held at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.
Speaking further, the Vice President said that the Buhari-led administration would eventually “take Nigeria across the Red Sea into the promised land”.
Osinbajo revealed the promise of God saying God has said He will build a new Nigeria where there would be comparative peace from northeast to the restive Niger Delta and create jobs for the unemployed.
His words: “We are on our way out of the wilderness, we should not be like children of Israel whom he took out of Egypt and after few problems became grumblers-in-chief. As children of God, we must declare this nation will prosper; we must be like our father who is the great encourager.
“Our message to Nigerians is be strong and of good encourage. Do not be dismayed; every Nigerian will benefit from the new Nigeria. God saw our nation and decided to put this leadership in place; this leadership will take us across the red sea to the new Nigeria.”
Also speaking at the event was Samson Ayokunle, a reverend and president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in his message titled ‘Wisdom that prevails over economic recession’ advised the Federal Government against pursuing a personal vendetta but to promote politics of tolerance.
He said there is no denying the fact that Nigeria is at a critical time, when oil has lost its value, and there are also threats of insurgency, attacks by suspected herdsmen, militancy, armed robbery and massive unemployment.
This , he blamed on past administrations which he said failed to save for the rainy day.
His words:
“In our economic boom days we were not wise like Pharoah,” he said.
“We did not invest but squander; our leaders helped themselves to nation’s health. This was almost the plight of Egypt but for intervention through Joseph.”
Suggesting ways out of the economic quagmire, he said: “Leaders must seek divine revelation from God because with wisdom of man, you won’t go far. It was Pharoah’s revelation that saved Egypt from famine. We must be like children of Issacha who understood the times.
“Second is godly direction. Political leaders must look beyond party affiliation and get those with wisdom like Pharoah got Joseph, a foreigner, a prisoner, to bail the nation out.
“Our leaders must have the ability to listen to counsel that will bring about solution. You can also learn from your enemies.
“Our leaders must promote and celebrate values. Present stakeholders in the Nigerian state should be sacrificial. Leaders should learn to appreciate and encourage.”
