- Former Nigerian leader Obasanjo emphasized Nigeria’s readiness for success during a speech at the Methodist Archdiocese of Abuja’s 40th anniversary celebration on October 13.
- Obasanjo urged Nigerians, leaders, and citizens to pray for the country’s healing, acknowledging that the current situation is not solely due to God.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asserted that it is not God’s intention for Nigeria to face economic hardships, highlighting the nation’s wealth of natural resources.
He made these remarks during the 40th anniversary celebration of the Methodist Archdiocese of Abuja, which took place in Abuja on Sunday, October 13. Obasanjo stressed that Nigeria possesses all the necessary elements for prosperity.
“As God created other nations, endowing them with resources, He similarly blessed Nigeria with numerous resources for growth. Just as Egypt has the River Nile, Nigeria has the Rivers Niger and Benue, plus crude oil, fertile soil, and other natural resources. I firmly believe God didn’t create Nigeria to struggle. He has given us everything we need; it’s our duty to appreciate Him, especially since many countries lack what Nigeria has.”
He called upon leaders, religious figures, and the populace to engage in prayers for the nation’s recovery, recognizing that the present challenges facing Nigeria are not a result of divine will.
.“We’ve squandered God’s gifts, but if we humble ourselves and seek Him, He will heal our land.” he said
