General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says Nigeria’s problems require spiritual solution.
Adeboye, who was in Kaduna, expressed confidence that though the problems seem to have persisted and in some areas getting worse, they will not last forever.
He also said his tour of Nigeria, which brought him to Kaduna, was not just to organize crusade and pray for the people, but an opportunity to gather people together to let them know that “tomorrow is going to be alright if Nigerians can be a little more patient with God”.
“I have come again this time around because it is has become more and more clearer to us that, the problems our nation is facing is more than political. Our problems will require quiet a bit of spiritual solution.
“We as a country are blessed; we are blessed with people with great intelligence, we are blessed with all manners of resources and yet we have so many problems.
“And it is not as if people in authority are not trying their best; they are doing as much as humanly possible. And then we found out that when you have problems that are beyond human ability to solve them, then, you call on the Almighty. The reason we call Him Almighty is because He has the power to solve all problems.” he said.
The pastor said as much as leaders were doing their very best to help solve the country’s problems, they seem to have persisted and in some areas, got worse.
“That is why we have been going round holding crusade and the crusade are just a means of gathering people together to let them know tomorrow is going to be all right if we can be a little more patient with God.
“We believe very strongly that people need this kind of encouragement, so that they don’t lose hope. Because when they lose hope, they do all kinds of strange things; many of our youths for example are running out of the country, forgetting that those countries they are running to also have their own problems and then those who cannot run anywhere, we don’t want a situation where people begin to think of taking their own lives,” he said.
In his response, Governor Uba Sani, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government needs prayers and support of clerics like Adeboye to succeed.
According to Governor Sani, Adeboye had, at different times, led interventions aimed at directing the political leadership to the path of justice and fairness.
“We also believe sir, that from the remarks you made just now, that our country at this critical time requires intervention from people like you who are tested and who have in the past intervened and helped us to find solutions to our problems. We believe you won’t be tired, we also need an intervention at this critical time.
“Like you said, many Nigerians are loosing hope and they have been very cautious about the future but like I said, we are going through difficulties because of what happened in the past and right now we have a President who is determined and focused and ready to take the country to a greater height and I have no doubt, with your intervention and prayers, our President will certainly get it right,” Gov Sani said.
