The former head of state called for prayers to uproot bad leaders.

A former Military Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, has called on Nigerians to stop blaming God for the crises plaguing the country.

Mr. Gowon, who was speaking during an official visit to the Gethsemane Prayer Ministry presided over by the national coordinator of Nigeria Prays, Moses Aransiola, also urged Nigerians to intensify their prayers for God to uproot all the leaders with evil intentions against the country.

“Nigerians should stand up as one and intercede on the crises rocking this nation; that is when God will uproot all the leaders that have evil intention against this country. Nigerians needs to desist from creating problems which they cannot solve and stop blaming God for their shortcomings,” he said.

The former Head of State also dismissed the prediction that the country would break up by 2015. He pointed out that France had earlier predicted 2014 but the prediction was currently falling apart.

“Every Nigerian should stand against the claims. If every one of us believes that it will not happen, then it will not. I believe God will not allow such to happen. Nigeria Prays is really praying against such and that was the reason why this group came into existence,” Mr. Gowon said.

Commenting on the conduct of politicians in light of the 2015 elections, Mr. Gowon said Nigerians should not take most of them seriously, referring to the politicians as “over-ambitious.”

“They should be ignored, they spell doom for the nation. Politicians should not be selfish but should protect the interests of the people to ensure equitable development of the country.”

He preached love for the nation as the only way for every citizen to play his role effectively in the polity.

“Nigerians at home and abroad are very concerned about the crisis that is rocking this nation and we believe that only prayer can solve it. If you love Nigeria the way I love Nigeria and if I love Nigeria the way you do and we have faith then we shall overcome,” he said.

Nobody is blaming God for anything. even a day old child knows that our leaders are the problem of this country.

until we are united enough to fight them we'll remain same

Some Pastors ar just betraying the folks by playing with politicians. With the way Buhari treated Bakare as his presidential running mate, i dont expect any christian organisation to consider featuring him in their programmes. If not because he needs their vote, he wont do anything with the christians. Apc is already an islamic party. Dont be surprised to hear that he wants to islamise Nigeria if he happens to become the president (which is not possible).

If you tell us who not to blame, please do tell us who to blame..

Gowon got it wrong on this one.
Should they blame SATAN?
Nigerians have EVERY reason to blame GOD FOR CREATING THEM STOOPID!
Afterall. . .the WHITE MAN CAME AND WENT. . . 'BUT-STILL-YET. . . AND SO THEREFORE'!
