The General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said Nigeria
does not need a fresh war as it is already battling wars within its borders.
Adeboye said this during the RCCG
Holy Ghost Service of the 71st Annual Convention tagged ‘Beyond Expectations’
at the Redemption Camp, along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.
“We are still fighting wars
against hunger, we are fighting some serious wars, and sure we don’t want more
wars.
“We want to win the ones we are
fighting and we don’t want fresh ones; whether within or without our borders,”
Adeboye said.
He explained that he witnessed
the Nigerian Civil War between the Nigerian and Biafran sides from July 1967 to
January 1970, adding that with what he saw he would rather choose peace over
war any day, anytime.
Adeboye said, “Nigeria still
needs a lot of prayers. I’m a small boy but I was at the battlefront during the
civil war; not as a soldier but I lived near the battlefront and what I saw, if
anybody ask me to choose between war and peace, I will choose peace.”
The preacher said Nigeria was
already fighting many wars against kidnappers, terrorists, and murderous
herdsmen, amongst others, noting that the country does not need more wars but
to win the ones it is battling currently.
“And we are already fighting many
wars in Nigeria. We are fighting wars against kidnappers, we are fighting wars
against terrorists. There are still places in Nigeria today that when people go
to bed, they are not sure they would not be killed before tomorrow morning.
“We are still fighting wars
against some people who feel that if you are a farmer and you plant, then what
you have planted is food for their cows and if their cows come to eat your
harvest and you complain, they kill you,” Pastor Adeboye said.
