As reported by Vanguard, Obasanjo said it is important for Nigerians to recognise and appreciate God’s provisions.
“God has equipped Nigeria with everything necessary for growth, “Just as Egypt has the River Nile, we have our own rivers and a wealth of natural resources. Nigeria was not created to struggle, and it’s our responsibility to recognize and utilize these blessings. Many nations lack the resources we take for granted.”
He emphasised that Nigeria’s current challenges are not due to a lack of resources but poor management.
Obasanjo, however, said God will heal Nigeria if the leaders humble themselves and seek His guidance.
“We have misused the gifts God has given us but if we humble ourselves and seek His guidance, He will heal our land.”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was represented by federal capital territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike alongside other political and spiritual leaders at the event in promoting unity and prosperity.
