Nigeria needs men of integrity at this moment – Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was optimistic that the country’s current situation and condition will soon be better.
The former president made this confession at a Global Crusade which was organised by the Deeper Life Bible Church, in Abeokuta, the state capital, and electronically monitored on Tuesday.
He urged Nigerian people to believe in God.
He said the country’s situation required divine intervention, urging all children of God to seek His face for intervention.
“If you consider what is going on in our cities, our states, our country, our region of West Africa, our continent and indeed our globe, our world required crusade of this nature.
“Some people accused us, Christians of `religiosity’ without spirituality. Yes, that has been the position of the world even in the time of Jesus Christ, but should we lose hope? No.
“There is no time in the world that things have been bad that it is not the children of God that stood out,” he said.
“Nigeria needs such men of integrity at this present moment.
“I believe that because of these kinds of men and women of such virtue in Nigeria, God will open his eyes and have mercy on this country.
“Unless those who don’t want to be honest with themselves will say that all is well, but if we trust in God and believe in Jesus Christ all will be well.
“Children of God, whatever may be our situation, whatever may be the condition, let us have faith in God, and all will be well,” Obasanjo said.
The General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, prayed that God should grant the former president longevity to contribute to the development of the country.
