Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa on Sunday told Nigerians
to stop blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for Nigeria’s challenges.
Okowa spoke in Benin at the end of a seven-day convention of
the Rock of Ages Christian Assembly International (RACAI).
He urged Christians to constantly pray that the nation would
surmount its numerous challenges.
According to him, Delta had many challenges shortly after he
took over power, but the challenges were surmounted with the help of prayers.
“I refused to be disturbed or regret being in power at that
difficult moment. Apart from plans made to tackle the problems, we embarked on
prayer, especially the one we organise every May 29, since 2015. “This is a way
to say thank you God, we still believe and trust in you. The church must
continue to pray for this country.
“If you do not pray and you continue to complain about the
nation’s woes, you are not a Christian.
“When our nation is sick, we as a people are also sick. We
should take the burden of the country as that of ourselves,” he urged.
The Pastor of RACAI, Mr Charles Osazuwa, said that it was
time Nigerians took responsibility of proffering solutions to the nation’s
numerous challenges.
“In the course of this conference, knowledge has been
imparted on the people; when the people apply it, it will make a significant
difference in their lives and that of the country.
“It is time for
individuals to rise up to take responsibilities rather than complain,” he
urged.
