Be Strong And Of Good Courage, Osinbajo Urges Nigerians


“Be strong and of good courage. Do not
be dismayed, God is faithful. He has
promised and he will fulfill his promise.”
These were the words he shared at an
interdenominational service to mark
Nigeria’s 56th Independence Day
celebrations.
The Vice President urged Nigerians to
persevere because every Nigerian will
benefit from the new Nigeria which God
has promised.
The Vice President also took a prophetic
stance to pray for the country and
assured Nigerians that better days were
ahead.
“The promise of God to our nation is
that he is building a new Nigeria; a
Nigeria where there will be peace from
the northeast to the Niger Delta. A
Nigeria where our economy will
experience abundance and prosperity,”
he said.
In his sermon, the President of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN),
Most Reverend Samson Ayokunle, also
urged Nigerians to be patient, for with
God and optimism, the country will
surmount all its challenges.
Typical of any Christian gathering there
was praise and worship, while prayers
were offered for the peace of the
country, the leadership and Nigerians at
large.
The interdenominational service is held
every year to remember and celebrate
Nigeria’s independence from the British
rule on October 1, 1960.
