Some Christian leaders held a
thanksgiving for Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa in
Abuja on Monday.
Last week, a chopper conveying
Osibanjo to Aso Rock the Nigeria Customs Command and Staff College, Gwagwalada,
Abuja, where he attended the graduation ceremony of Senior Division Course
1/2018 participants, was forced to land few seconds after take-off.
Laolu Akande, spokesman of the
vice-president, commented about the incident on Twitter.
“VP Osinbajo attended the
graduation ceremony of Nigeria Customs Senior Course in Gwagwalada today
(Thursday),” he wrote.
“On his way back, it was decided,
for technical reasons, not to fly the chopper that had brought him to the
venue. He drove back to the Presidential Villa and continued his schedule.”
On Monday, Seyi Malomo, chaplain
of Aso Villa hosted senior pastors of the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
leaders from the Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) and Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria(PFN).
They offered praises and
thanksgiving to God for sparing the life of the vice-president.
Malomo service said there was
every reason to thank God for sparing Osinbajo’s life.
“Last week we received the news
with shock that the vice-president’s helicopter engine failed,” he said.
“We thank God that preserved him.
The preservation of the leaders is the preservation of the nation and as a
result we want to thank God, so this programme was organised to thank God for
his watchful eyes over our leaders, over our nation and more particularly over
the deliverance for the vice- president.
“We will be spending 120 hours
praising God, teaching about thanksgiving, praying to God to bless Nigeria
more, establish peace in Nigeria more, preserve our nation more, give us the
victory that is needed.
“As we all know we are a nation
that deeply loves God and a love for God that is also born out of deep
appreciation because we know that God loves us too and his love for us manifest
in his good works towards us.”
