ABUJA – The Methodist Archbishop of Abuja, Most Rev. Dr. Michael Akinwale, urged Nigerians on Tuesday to pray for President Bola Tinubu’s administration instead of condemning it.

At a press conference marking the 40th anniversary of the Methodist Church in Abuja, Akinwale emphasized that criticism won’t solve Nigeria’s problems and that divine intervention is needed.

He stressed that Nigeria’s solution lies in returning to God, urging both leaders and citizens to seek divine guidance.

The Archbishop said, “If you look at the American dollar, you see ‘In God We Trust.’ The only solution to Nigeria’s problems is to take this nation back to God.

“It is not for us to condemn our leaders. Like leader, like people—no magic will happen unless we return this nation to God. We must realize that we are extremely helpless without divine intervention.

“In the midst of this confusion, we look up to God to take absolute control. Both leaders and citizens must commit to taking this nation back to God and seeking His guidance. We are all stakeholders, so we have a duty to pray for our nation and our leaders.

“My advice to the government is to seek God’s guidance and direction and to be truthful to the people. Apart from God, nothing can be achieved. No leader can succeed without divine help.”

Akinwale also highlighted the church’s contributions to Abuja’s education, healthcare, and social welfare, including schools, hospitals, and other institutions.

According to him, the church plans to expand beyond Abuja, establishing more churches, schools, and hospitals.

He explained that the Methodist Church Abuja has set ambitious goals for the next 40 years, aiming to spread the gospel and provide services to humanity; noting that the church has grown significantly since its establishment in 1983, with over 3,000 cathedral seats and expansion plans.


He said, “I can tell you that the Abuja Methodist Church, which started in a small parlour 40 years ago, has exceeded the expectations of even us members. By God’s grace, we have expanded beyond the nation’s capital, reaching as far as Niger State, with 3,000 seats within the Diocese of Abuja.

“In the next 40 years, we are expanding further. Our reach will extend beyond the Federal Capital Territory. We will reach every hamlet, every nook and cranny. The gospel will be preached everywhere. Our mission, vision, and plan for the next 40 years is to spread the gospel.”

"The Archbishop said, “If you look at the American dollar, you see ‘In God We Trust.’..."



You don't get posted to a CUSHY Abuja job that comes with American Dollars by condemning CORRUPT criminals in power.

You have to kiss ass like a doting mother kisses her newborn child.

Kiss ass. Blame the devil. Collect your dollars.

It's a nice gig.

The antichrist will really show Nigerian Christians pepper if they don't go back to the scriptures

When we say pray for Nigeria they don't always get what we mean. If you feel anything is not right then you pray to God to help fix it and He will fix it in ways we never expected. Make it a habit to pray for Nigeria in your daily prayers.

Like Methodist Archbishop like RCCG General Overseer.

Una dey craze!!

What sort of nonsense would you not expect from an "Akinwale".

Africans and Prayers!

How do you employ prayers in situations where you should employ Logic?

We've been praying for many years and nothing has changed. Things are even much worse. Every year, it's worse. Problem are depressed, hungry, jobless and frustrated at the current Economic situation of things in Nigeria. There's no hope for the common man.
You can't pray when you're Hungry and worried.

Anybody still praying for this country up to this moment is the mumu of all mumus. I go to church every sunday and once they start that prayer about Nigeria in distress, I'm walking. I can't be caught praying for drug dealers and generational ritualists. Country should kpai as a matter of fact.

Prayer is not what makes china what it is today , hold your leaders accountable

Thank you so so much. I will never pray for Nigeria. I rather pray for myself. Do prayers even work?

I've been praying for help so I can survive the hunger but help hasn't come. Aside prayer, I'm also a Hustler but it's too hard with me now. I can't even walk due to Hunger

I think they need to be using 2 by 2 to reset the brains of these idiot pastors and religious people...!!

Same temple as the colonial masters...religions are added to pacify the people after they have been delt with so that they won't revolt..


Nigeria case now is beyond becareful.

Only force would work the matter now as balablu and his co criminal gang are hell bent on finishing the masses
