Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says Nigeria will
overcome her challenges and become prosperous.
He said this at the 2017 independence day service at
the National Christian Center, Abuja.
Speaking on the theme, ‘National Unity in the Bond of
Peace and Love’, Osinbajo noted that the greatest
commandment in the scripture is “love the Lord your
God with all your strength and love your Neighbour as
yourself”.
He also urged the congregation to shun revenge,
saying as salt of the earth, Christians are to teach the
nation unity.
“This is the responsibility of all who are followers of the
Lord Jesus Christ,” Osinbajo said.
“Our nation is at a point where we should teach the
people the virtue of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Osinbajo prayed that the nation will blossom and
overcome challenges and that the “glory of the former
days will be nothing to be compared to the glory of the
latter days”.
Prayers were said for Nigeria, President Muhammadu
Buhari, Osinbajo, and the three arms of government.
Some of the dignitaries in attendance were Yakubu
Godwon, former head of state; former President
Olusegun Obasanjo; Ernest Shonekan, former head of
interim government; John Odijie-Oyegun, national
chairman, All Progressive Congress (APC) and Godwin
Emefiele, governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
