Insecurity: Obasanjo Admonishes Nigerians to Turn to God

            

Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has admonished Nigerians to turn to God as the insecurity situation in the country heightens. He added that the present challenges in the country have gone beyond the help of man because the problems are quite enormous. Hence, it is only God that can settle the issues in the country.

Obasanjo made this statement on Saturday in Abeokuta, Ogun state during the 16th edition of Prayer Breakfast organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ogun State chapter. The event, which was monitored by Daily Post Nigeria, was held virtually in honor of the former two term president who is also a former military Head of State.

In addition, Obasanjo noted that at all level, leaders are inundated by the present challenges in the country. Hence, prayers are needed to fight the complex issues bedeviling the nation. In his words;

“We seem to have been overwhelmed with the crises in our land. That is why we are here. We have some challenges. These are beyond what we can handle we have to cry to God. Our land needs to be healed. 

"We have been overwhelmed, those in government, executive, legislators, public servant, civil servant, private sector, we are overwhelmed. God cannot be overwhelmed. He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, I believe God will heal our land. That is the reason we are here.”
