The leadership of the First Baptist Church in Garki, Abuja has called on President Bola Tinubu to listen to the worries of Nigerians and take steps to ameliorate their suffering and trust God to solve the economic problems facing the country.
Senior Pastor of the church, Rev Tom Takpatore, made the call against the backdrop of the current mass hunger in the country.
He stated this while addressing newsmen during the church’s mid-year Thanksgiving service in Area 11, Abuja yesterday.
He said if the President did the needful, he could trust God for a great legacy.
The clergy said the church was thanking God for seeing them through the first half of the year and praying for a fruitful remaining half.
Takpatore said, “My encouragement and my message to Nigerians is that even though we have challenges we have reasons to be thankful to God as a nation. If you are a Nigerian, there are things that we have gone through in the past 25 years.
“Even in our history, most nations that went through them didn’t survive but God has kept us and God is keeping us. If there is life, there is hope. We don’t have what we are expecting. But trust that with the help of God, there will be wonders, God will help us as a nation.
“I believe that for our president, Nigerians are not silent. Nigerians are speaking, and all he needs to do is take time, listen to them, and trust God and God will grant him the enabling grace to write his name in the sands of time, and by the grace of God he will leave a great legacy for our country Nigeria.”
