The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity,
Femi Adesina, says Nigerians who fail to commit the security situation into the
hands of God could be guilty of indirectly prolonging the war against
insurgency.
Adesina said this in an article on Thursday titled, ‘The
Decent for the Indecent, the Just for the Unjust’.
The President’s aide noted that a short viral video showed a
soldier and four others singing that victory is from God alone.
Adesina, however, said many Nigerians had failed to understand that only God gives victory.
He wrote, “But victory is from God alone. That is what we
must realise as Nigerians. Do we ever pray for our troops in the frontlines? Do
we remember those youths, our pride, and strength, faced by death daily, as we
sleep in the comfort of our homes, ensconced in the tender bosom of our wives.
“As we pray; God give me money. Give me a car. Give me a
promotion. Kill my enemies. Do it now. Do we ever remember our soldiers? Ere
you left your room this morning, did you think to pray…did you pray for our
soldiers? Victory comes from God alone. If you don’t pray, you may be guilty of
prolonging the war in North-East, North-west, North-central, and all over
Nigeria.”
The President’s spokesman said rather than understand the
fact that only God can give victory, some Nigerians had become wailers.
“Yes, victory is from God alone. But do some people know?
Does it ever enter into their consciousness? They only wail: ‘this insurgency
war has lasted too long. The banditry has demystified our military. They are
cowards. The top guns don’t even want the battle to end.
“They are making money in billions.’ Okay. Making money in
billions and wasting our soldiers, our youths, our future and hope, in their
hundreds and thousands because of blood money. That is all some people see;
permanent cynics and sceptics, who know nothing of altruism, and whose God is
their belly. They think only of pecuniary gain, nothing else,” Adesina said.
He said as the nation marks this year’s Armed Forces
Remembrance Day, Nigerians should seize the opportunity to pray for the military
and encourage them and not run them down.
