Nigeria Requires Urgent Rescue, Says Okogie by teemanbastos(m): 6:35am On Jan 16, 2015
A former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, has said that the Federal Government led by President Goodluck Jonathan is clueless and that the country needed an urgent rescue from what he described as “imminent brink of irredeemable destruction.”

The cleric therefore called on all Nigerians to wake up from their slumber and face the reality by electing into the position of leadership only persons “who know what to do.”

He added that efforts must be made to educate the average Nigerian to choose their leader based on capability and not on the basis of ethnic or religious affiliations.

Okogie spoke in Lagos at the 11th edition of the Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture/Symposium, where he was the chairman of the occasion.

He condemned the present administration for the prevalent insecurity in the country and the nation’s economic woes.

Okogie said, “There is extra urgency to rescue Nigeria. This is the time when every right thinking Nigerian must pray to hate the present situation strong enough so as to desire the fortitude to act right.

“This time does not allow for indifference. All must rise to save Nigeria from the brink of irredeemable destruction. This is the time we must play politics of the best, for the best position, in order to guarantee the best for our nation.

“Let only those with the fear of God and love of their neighbours rule Nigeria; only those who know what to do should sit at the helm of affairs. Enough of mediocrity, enough of failures, enough of nepotism, and enough of ethnicity.”
