Femi Adesina, media and publicity adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, has stated that only God can help Nigeria defeats its challenges on security.

The media aide made this known on Thursday, January 14, in a piece "The Decent for the Indecent, the Just for the Unjust", asking Nigerians if they ever prayed for the troops at the frontline of the war against insurgency.

Adesina added that Nigerians prolonging the war against insurgency in the northeast and northwest are the ones who do not pray.

"But victory is from God alone. That is what we must realise as Nigerians. Do we ever pray for our troops in the frontlines?
“As we pray; God give me money. Give me a car. Give me a promotion. Kill my enemies. Do it now. Do we ever remember our soldiers?
"Ere you left your room this morning, did you think to pray…did you pray for our soldiers? Victory comes from God alone. If you don’t pray, you may be guilty of prolonging the war in North-East, North-west, North-central, and all over Nigeria."
