The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike has assured religious leaders and other stakeholders that Nigeria will come out of her current turmoil.
He gave the assurance yesterday, when the Methodist Prelate, Most Rev. Oliver Ali Aba, visited him in Abuja.
Wike thanked the Church for the prayers for Nigerians and for the government of President Bola Tinubu to actualise his vision and dreams in the “Renewed Hope” agenda.
He noted that nobody could govern without the backing of God, stressing that it was important for every leader to know this.
He said: “I believe by the special grace of God, Nigeria would come out from the turmoil that we are in.
“The signs are clear; we have no regret; and we have no doubt that victory shall be ours.”
He continued: “Prayer is key. We can do all we think, but without God nothing can be achieved, and so his victory; his hope is anchored on God,” the minister said.
“That is why Tinubu has never failed to ask religious leaders to continue to pray for his administration and for the growth of Nigeria.”
He also assured the Methodist Church that the FCT Administration would consider their request for land to build offices and a media centre.
Earlier in his remarks, the Methodist Prelate, informed the FCT of the Church’s pending request for land for the development of a liaison office and a benefiting media centre to enhance evangelism and other social amenities.
He explained that the request was submitted to the Administration in 2023 but was not granted.
He also pledged the Church’s commitment for continued prayers to support the Tinubu-led government to succeed.
According to him: “This is because, his success is our success, and his success is the joy of all Nigerians.
“In actualising his ‘renewed hope’ agenda, I pray for economic renaissance for our dear country and terming the evil of insecurity in the land.
“I affirm that there is hope for Nigeria and Nigerians.”
