The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, as the country would be great again.
He spoke on Sunday at his 72nd birthday message at the national headquarters of the RCCG in Ebute-Meta, Lagos.
Adeboye said Nigeria belonged to God, adding that no matter what it was going through, it would be great again.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Administration and Personnel, Pastor Johnson Odesola, Adeboye noted: This year,“2014, is a glorious one and a new beginning for as many that will put their trust in God and not in man in the face of the challenges facing the country.”
He decried the insurgency in the North, which has led to the killing of innocent people, saying: “We cannot agree to the terms of Boko Haram, as the condition that Western education is a sin is terrible. But let us hear them out while we also apply the use of force to curb attacks on innocent people.”
Adeboye said the Boko Haram insurgency would soon end, as Nigerians in the past experienced religious crises and God intervened.
