Senate President, David Mark, on Wednesday urged Nigerians to turn to God as the only way out of the protracted battle against insurgency as well as other political and economic problems confronting the nation.
Mark said he was optimistic that God would heal the land “only if we turn to Him to salvage the myriads of crisis facing the nation.”
According to a statement by his media aide, Paul Mumeh, Mark said: “What the country is passing through at the moment is a test of our faith. We must be steadfast in our prayers that God will save Nigeria.
“What we need now as a nation is sincerity of purpose. Sincerity on the part of everybody, the government and the people. With prayers, our country will see the end of this insurgency and God will totally heal our land,” he added.He called for free, fair and credible elections in 2015, advising Nigerians to continue to do the right thing both in the presence of God and in the sight of men.
The senate president charged youths across the country to embrace prayer network as the tools for positive change in the efforts to build a greater Nigeria.
The statement also quoted one Rev. Father Charles Ndubuisi, at a meeting with Mark, saying youths across the nation have come together to raise their voices to God in the midst of lingering crisis and also to seek change of attitude among the younger generation.
The cleric said his prayer group came together with the mission to pray to God to end the issues of insecurity, corruption and unemployment in the country, adding: “We have come together to raise our voices to God. The future belongs to young people and as youths by implication, we are praying for ourselves too.”
