Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has emphasized that the challenges facing Nigeria require spiritual solutions.
Adeboye made this statement on Sunday during a courtesy visit to Uba Sani, the Governor of Kaduna, as part of a two-day RCCG “National Light Up Crusade” held in the state.
Speaking during the visit, Adeboye acknowledged that Nigeria is blessed with intelligence, manpower, and natural resources despite facing various challenges.
He stressed that the outreach was a way of encouraging the people not to lose hope and reiterated the church’s reliance on divine intervention for the country.
“I’m in Kaduna again as it has become clear that the problems our nation is facing are more than political and will require some spiritual solution,” Adeboye stated.
“We have been going round in our way to support the efforts of governments, to call on the almighty to come to our aid as we need help. Holding crusades as a means to gather the people together to let them know tomorrow will be alright.”
Adeboye expressed gratitude to the governor for providing logistical support for the success of the crusade, emphasizing the importance of spiritual encouragement in challenging times.
“We believe firmly that people need this kind of encouragement because when people lose hope, they do strange things. Youths are running away from Nigeria, and those who cannot run anywhere begin to think of taking their own lives,” he added.
Governor Uba Sani, in response, commended the success of the crusade and appreciated Adeboye’s commitment to serving humanity.
He acknowledged the positive impact on the Christian faithful in the state and emphasized the need for spiritual guidance during challenging socio-economic times.
“It is a rare honour and privilege to welcome our iconic evangelist Pastor Enoch Adeboye to Sir Kashim Ibrahim House. From the academia to the pulpit, yours has been a life devoted to the service of life and humanity, you have touched lives too numerous to mention,” Governor Sani said.
“Many Nigerians are losing hope and are being cautious about the future, as we are going through difficulties from the past. However, right now we have a president who is determined, focused and ready to take our country to higher heights. With your intervention and prayers, I believe that our president will certainly get it right.”
