VICE PRESIDENT Yemi Osinbajo has expressed confidence that the country will win over it challenges.
The Vice President said this today at the National Prayer Breakfast, which held at the NAF Conference Centre, Kado, Abuja.
A former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon (retd); President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr Samson Ayokunle, among other dignitaries were present at the event.
Osinbajo assured that the current travails besetting the country would eventually give way to a glorious and bright new morn of a new nation.
In his words: “the new nation is birthing already.
“It is covered by a cloud, but the cloud will pass, and God Almighty will take all of the glory for the birthing of a new nation.”
Osinbajo, who said the theme of the Prayer breakfast “Birth of a New Nation” was significant, especially in these times, underscored the need for collective prayers, faith, hope, and action.
According to him, the National Prayer Breakfast “comes at a time of great travail and tribulation for the nation: in the throes of a pandemic for well over a year, leading to a severe economic downturn, loss of jobs and livelihoods; and as we climbed out of the recession, we have been faced with an unprecedented scale of insecurity, in different zones of the nation.
“But we know that every time that a nation where the lives of the children of God is challenged, it is God’s call to His people to take action.
“It is an opportunity for God to demonstrate that He is God over the nations, that He is the creator of the heavens and the earth, that He knows the beginning from the end.
“But God also wants us to know that he has ordained us to speak to life.”
