President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said Nigeria needs leaders with integrity, transparent character, faithfulness and other godly attributes to overcome her current challenges.
Speaking at the sixth Annual Prayer Breakfast organized by the Christian Legislators Fellowship of Nigeria in Abuja, Thursday, the President said great leaders follow godly principles.
Buhari, who spoke through the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ibukun Odusote, said, “The time has come for Nigeria to have godly leaders in a permanently changing world. Change, though usually resisted, is the most constant component of life.
“Thus the need of a Godly leader in our ever changing world cannot be over- emphasized. Whenever God’s people have been without godly leadership, the result has been disastrous.”
The President continued: “Throughout scripture, God has given us various principles for godly leadership.
“Godly leaders serve others instead of demanding to be served. Godly leaders need to accept the responsibility which God has given them, and a godly leader must be a man with godly commitments, conduct, character and convictions.

It is being said that Buhari is a straight person, but why does he want to surround himself with people of questionable characters? There is no union between light and darkness. See some of his ministerial nominees, unbalanced appointments and the latest one INEC chairman. I am disturbed when people say what I don't see on ground. How can Mr President assuage my fears?
ReplyDeleteSupported. Just imagine that he added Amaechi. Anyway I am watching. Adding Amaechi is equivalent to what we had against Jonathan having corrupt people around him. He claim he is fighting corruption, let us see whether he would arrest any of his corrupt ministers.
DeleteEeeeeeh, honest and capable people indeed........we have seen them, revealed after 4 months.NIGERIA NA WAAAH
ReplyDeleteWE HAVE YOUR LIST, IF THIS IS WHAT YOU KEPT IN YOUR KITTY FOR 4 MONTHS, SORRY....NIGERIA HAS NOT WOKEN UP...SLUMBERING CONTINUES IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION.
ReplyDeleteThis government might end up being the worst. Only political enemies are arrested for corruption. Political friends are sacred cows that will never be questioned. We are still in the dark ages
