Here is the full text of Osinbajo's statement:
"My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I want to take a moment to talk to you about the state of our nation. We are facing many challenges, and it is clear that we need God's intervention to overcome them.
As we read in Psalm 33:12, 'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.' This is a reminder that our nation's prosperity and peace depend on our relationship with God.
In these challenging times, I want to urge you all to intensify your prayers and fasting. We need to seek God's guidance and intervention in our nation's affairs. We need to ask Him to help us overcome our challenges and to bring peace and prosperity to our land.
As we pray and fast, let us also remember to remain steadfast in our faith. Let us not lose hope, even in the face of adversity. Let us continue to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, and let us believe that He will answer our prayers and bring us out of this darkness into the light.
So, let us come together as a nation and seek God's face. Let us ask Him to forgive us of our sins and to guide us on the path of righteousness. Let us ask Him to bring peace and prosperity to our land, and to help us overcome our challenges.
I believe that if we do this, God will answer our prayers and bring us out of this darkness into the light. He will bring peace and prosperity to our land, and He will help us overcome our challenges.
So, let us pray and fast, and let us trust in God's goodness and sovereignty. Let us believe that He will answer our prayers and bring us out of this darkness into the light.
Thank you, and may God bless our nation."
