Prof Osinbajo pledges that the Buhari regime will take Nigeria to the Promised Land

VICE President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has promised that the present administration will take Nigeria to the Promised Land in which there will be peace from the northeast to the Niger Delta and where there will be jobs for the unemployed.

 

Speaking at the 56th Independence Anniversary Interdenominational Church Service at the National Christian Centre in Abuja, Professor Osinbajo said that the Buhari administration is building a new Nigeria. Describing Nigeria as the light of the world and salt of the earth, he appealed to Nigerians not to be dismayed by the economic situation.

 

Professor Osinbajo added: “We are on our way out of the wilderness, so we should not be like children of Israel when He took them out of Egypt and after few problems became grumblers in chief. As children of God we must declare this nation will prosper and we must be like our father who is the great encourager.

 

“Our message to Nigeria 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.”

 

Reverend Samson Supo Ayokunle, the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, who delivered the church service's message, said Nigeria's leaders need divine revelation and need to receive wisdom from God to handle the economy. According to him, the wisdom from God will prevail over the economic recession in the country.

 

Despite the huge resources in the country, Reverend Ayokunle said that Nigeria found herself in recession for a number of reasons. One of the causes of the recession, he said, was Nigeria’s inability to save during the rainy days.

 

 “They were siphoning the resources for their pockets. We got into this also because of our inability to diversify, as we killed our agriculture for oil.

 

“We are all responsible for the self-imposed trouble but there is hope as help will come from above for Nigeria. There is a way out in the mind of God if we seek Him,” Reverend Ayokunle added.

 

As a way out of the recession, he advised the government to go beyond party affiliations as the solutions are not limited to the members of the Federal Executive Council. He said the government should be able to listen to others, promote and celebrate excellent leadership.
