From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
Senior Pastor, Dunamis International Gospel Center, DIGC, worldwide, Dr Pastor Paul Enenche has urged Nigerians to make a conscious decision and efforts to take their destinies in their hands by securing their communities to avoid being wasted by armed herdsmen.
He also said the solutions to check the incessant killings and spate of insecurity in the country is to have leaders that would not wish to be perpetually in power and negotiate away the lives and welfare of its people.
Pastor Enenche, said this in a chat with newsmen shortly after donating relief materials, including bags of rice, noodles and mattresses among other items, to victims of the Yelwata killings of Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.
The man of God stated that it is pertinent for Nigeria, as a nation to ask forgiveness of God, to cleanse and have mercy on Nigeria and give the nation a leadership that feels and have compassion for its people; leadership that is devoid of political sentiments.
According to Dr Pastor Enenche, “We are on a mission to Benue State in the wake of the very horrific, and almost like a genocidal pogrom in the land that resulted in the death and burning of so many alives. We see the climate of doom, the climate of death, the climate of darkness. The grief, the pain and the hurt in the land and particularly in the nation.
“We came on a condolence visit to the land (Benue), we came on a solidarity visit; to stand with our people and to let them know that light will never bow to darkness and darkness will never triumph over light.”
Proffering solutions to the incidences of killing in Nigeria and Benue in particular, he said, “The solution to this type of issue is the will in the heart of the leadership of our nation, both at the federal and state levels, to have authorities and leadership that have the will to do the right thing; that have the heart for the people, to put anything political aside and look at realities and to say: this is the real situation on the ground.
“A leadership that value human lives, above every other consideration and do what is right, in the interest of the people, in the interest of their consciences and in the fact that one day everybody will stand before God to give account of their lives to God.”
