Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has called on political,
religious, and traditional leaders in the country to drive their followers
toward the pursuit of unity in Nigeria.
While speaking at the Archbishop of Abuja Unity Cathedral,
Methodist Church of Nigeria on Sunday, Osinbajo said the church is a place to
deliver people from fear, oppression, and eternal damnation — a place of
succour, joy, and encouragement.
He said leaders in all climes should encourage their
followers in the pursuit of truth and justice.
“We must continue to build churches and places of worship
knowing that everywhere we plant a church; we establish the light and power of
the gospel of the love of Jesus Christ,” Osinbajo said.
“The light and power
are the answers to darkness, pain, and misery of our world. The forces of evil
and hate are more virulent than ever; the battle between light and darkness is
more intense than ever, but the church will prevail.
“We need to unite. We call on politicians, religious and
traditional leaders, and all in authority to do the right thing.”
In his remarks, Oliver Ali-Aba, the prelate of the church,
said the church would continue to spread the gospel and pray for the country.
“The church wants to
carry on as Christ has charged on the great commission; to spread the gospel
and to do well. We pray for Nigeria’s unity, peace, and development; we pray
for good leaders from the church to the nation at all levels.’’
