–SPEAK WELL OF NIGERIA—VP OSINBAJO
By: Valentine Adese (JP),
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has described Nigeria as a great country, with huge potentials, which needs to be nurtured and built by its citizens.
He said, “Although the current challenges are huge, there is biblical support to the fact that things would change for the better in no distant time”.
He urged Nigerians to speak well of their country and not confess negatively.
The Vice President gave this advice, at the Annual Thanksgiving Service of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), held at the Jesus Power Crusaders International Assembly in Jos, the Plateau state capital today, Saturday, 30th October, 2021.
He also commended PFN, for organizing the Thanksgiving Service, which he said “is an opportunity to recognize and appreciate God’s goodness for the nation in times of difficulty and make God, to do more”.
On his part the Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, used the event to clear the air on the insinuations making the rounds on Social Media platforms and elsewhere, alleging that, he has a hand in the impeachment/removal of the former Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Nuhu Abok Ayuba.
According to a Plateau state Government press statement signed by, Dr. Makut Simon Macham, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State, dated 30th October, 2021, Governor Lalong, while responding to a submission by a Jos-based Christian cleric, Prophet Isa El-Buba, at the Annual Thanksgiving Service, where the Cleric had earlier asked the Governor to restore stability in the House after the recent impeachment of the former Speaker and the election of Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda said, “The House of Assembly is an autonomous body that runs its affairs independently. You will recall that, I was the first Governor in Nigeria to sign into law the Autonomy Bill when it was passed. I did that because of my passion for democratic growth and the strengthening of the Institution. Having served as a Speaker, who was also impeached, I have no hand in the running of the House, not to talk of the change of its leadership. They run their affairs and do as they wish based on their rules and the law”.
The Governor also advised the citizens particularly, the leaders of thought, to always verify information and also engage before taking a position on any matter such as the impeachment story that has been widely misrepresented.
He advised those, who have concerns to reach out to the members and get the complete picture before reaching conclusions.
He called for prayers and support for those in authority.
PFN President Bishop Wale Oke in his sermon said the challenges Nigeria is facing are prevalent and appear daunting, but will surely be overcome according to God’s promises.
