He maintained that it is the prayer of the church that has been sustaining Nigeria to a large extent, going by the numerous challenges the nation has faced in the recent past.
Speaking on the recently held EndSARS protest in the country by Nigerian youths which was later hijacked by so-called hoodlums, the Prelate called on the government both at the federal and state levels to listen to the genuine complaint made by the youths and fashion out ways to solve them in order to have a more peaceful Nigeria.
He further stressed that Nigeria remains the only country that Nigerians can genuinely call their own and therefore warned against acts that could jeopardize the peace and unity of the country.
