Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG), has described Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna state governor, as a
“tender-hearted” man.
He said God will fight for him to overcome the challenges of
banditry and kidnapping in Kaduna.
Adeboye said it is only God that can solve the problem of
insecurity in the country, adding that the challenge is “far beyond the
abilities of any human being”.
The cleric spoke on Tuesday when he visited the Kaduna
governor at the state government house.
The visit came in the wake of the release of eight RCCG
members who were abducted in March.
Adeboye said he will be praying for El-Rufai, adding that
“when God begins to do what He alone can do, then the world will see it and
they will glorify the name of God, and many people who might be criticising you
now, will probably see the other side of the story”.
He added: “We know that you have a problem that only God can
solve. The problem is far beyond the abilities of any human being. We have
known each other for years.
“I know the kind of person you are. I know you are
tender-hearted, I know how you definitely must be feeling, particularly when
the kidnappings are going on. When they begin to kidnap school children, I know
how you must be feeling.”
Adeboye also assured the governor that “victory is around
the corner”, noting that Kaduna and Nigeria will overcome insecurity.
“We are praying for you and I believe God is going to answer
the prayers. I am assuring you sir that the Almighty God is going to fight for
you, He is going to fight for Kaduna state, He is going to fight for Nigeria,”
he said.
On his part, El-Rufai said Nigeria needs divine intervention
to surmount its security problems, while he also urged Adeboye to keep
interceding for Kaduna state.
He said: “We also seek your blessings and prayers, as a
great man of God, to assist us with the challenges that we are facing here and
the country at large.
“This country needs divine intervention more than at any
time in its history. So, we are grateful for your prayers, we are grateful for
your blessings, and we will continue to ask for more.”
The governor added that RCCG has been “a pillar of strength,
a symbol of Nigeria’s unity and positive force for peace and progress in the
state”.
