Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the popular General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, worldwide has sent a passionate advisory to President Bola Tinubu and ECOWAS leaders against the prospects of war in Niger Republic, reports Political Economist NG.
In a preface to his sermon with the theme: Beyond Expectations, at the ongoing convention of the church on Friday night, the highly respected Mathematics professor-turned pastor pleaded with those beating the drums of war in Niger Republic to rethink the option.
Political Economist NG reports that President Bola Tinubu and other ECOWAS heads of government have been meeting and mulling the option of military force to upstage the junta that seized power in the small country of Niger.
However, the military option, they said, would only be deployed when diplomatic overtures fail.
But in the introduction to his sermon, Adeboye said Nigeria does not need any fresh war because the country was already overburdened by many internal wars which she was yet to surmount.
“We already have enough wars in our hands; war against kidnappers, terrorists, hunger, etc. We don’t want more wars, we want to win the ones we’re fighting, no more fresh wars both within and without our borders,” he advised.
Political Economist NG notes that Adeboye’s advisory matches the tenor of similar counsel by eminent Nigerians including Bode George, an elder statesman who warned against any form of war because the impact would be too heavy and negative on Nigeria.
Adeboye urged the Christian community not to relent in their prayers for Nigeria, assuring that where there is a people to pray, there is a God to answer prayers.
Friday night was the climax of the convention and it was marked with signs, wonders and a harvest of salvation.
As at Friday night, a total of 66 babies were born in the camp, broken down to 35 female and 31 male babies.
