Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has said it is in the nature of God to create new beginnings and Nigeria is on course for one, regardless of all doubts.
Osinbajo stated this while featuring at the ongoing 25th Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God – The Americas, themed: New Beginning.
Osinbajo, a pastor in RCCG, cited the biblical story of Nathaniel who doubted whether any good thing could come out of Nazareth, and declared with optimism that despite people doubting if anything good would come out of Nigeria, the country will experience a new beginning.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng by presidential spokesman, Laolu Akande, the vice president explained that the ideal person ready for a new beginning is one who requires the strength of God to show forth in their weakness.
