Prelate of the Methodist Church, Nigeria, Dr Oliver Aba, has disclosed that the country’s present situation is a means of grace for growth, charging the citizens to pray for those in authority.
Speaking during his Apostolic visit to Minna Circuit of Abuja Diocese, at the Methodist Church, Minna, Aba said: “I believe President Bola Tinubu will take a lead and we will follow him. He is our leader.
“I am not afraid of the situation we are facing in Nigeria because it is a means of grace for growth. If we do not face some of these things and struggle out of it, we won’t grow.”
Assuring Nigerians of better days ahead, the Prelate said with Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, he can deliver the dividends of democracy.
“It is just that, for now, we are trying to face some kind of hardship. But this hardship is for good. We must continue to pray for our President and join hands with him to build a better Nigeria,” he said, noting that when the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was introduced, many people complained bitterly. “But it came with the spirit of business, and every Nigerian then became business-conscious and we are surviving.
“Today, we are having little teething problems, but I assure Nigerians that we have no other country to call our own except Nigeria.”
