He spoke during the 2019 Presidential Inauguration Interdenominational Church Service in Abuja.The Vice President maintained that Christians are to take the lead in giving hope to others.He said “Our days will be better and better. This is the reason why I am so confident; our ministry is that of reconciliation.
In a message titled “Let us choose life not death taken from Deuteronomy 30:19, he pointed out that God has set before the nation light and darkness, but that Nigeria should choose light for peace and development. Noting that Nigeria has been dancing on the brink of chaos, he said that there is need for drastic change of government system.
“At this moment, we would do well to acknowledge our failure to do things in the right way. Here the words of the psalmist should challenge each of us: “If you Oh Lord should mark our guilt, who would survive?” “But all is not lost either. As we embrace a new term of government, it should be for us a new opportunity to change ways and review habits of governance, for a better Nigeria. We can and we should do this. God has endowed us with adequate resources to achieve this, resources that we unfortunately turn into crises and problems. Ethnicity and religion are two cases in point.

“This cuts across our religious differences and affiliations. Religion is good, but not enough. It is useful, and can even be worse than useless. If it does not promote good humma behaviour.. We cannot deceive God. We may, by our human failure, give religion a bad name. But God will always be the Holy and Religious One.
He added “Again, here we must tell the truth. For too long, we have been seeing what seems to be a policy of polarazation of the nation along primordial fault lines of ethnicity and religion. The result is that we have been indulging in the risky game of ’dancing on the brink of chaos’. “There are, we hope, many more people who still believe in our ability to build a united nation under God, and thus to realise the dream of our constitution. Doing nothing but complaining and pointing accusing fingers at others is to wait for the worst to happen.

When we start having the right & true leaders in places of authority who have sincerity of purpose.
Nigeria's future is uncertain to put it mildly. A country that uses religion for governance and governance for religion can't make progress. A country where hypocrisy and stupidity is celebrated can't make progress. Beware of fake Pastors!
Will you stop that!

It is not by being 'spiritual' or wishful thinking. It is by design and action put in place to make it happen.

‘Buhari will not Islamize Nigeria’ - The Nation NewspaperReligious leaders under the aegis Arewa Pastors Non-denominational Initiative for Peace on Saturday assured Christians that President Muhammadu Buhari will not islamize Nigeria. The assurance is in reaction to comments made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo accusing Buhari of trying to Islamize the entire country. National Chairman of Arewa non-denominational Initiative for Peace, Bishop Abu … If he does,can he be questioned after then?why are we still asking questions? instead of concentrating on his actions through the process influence of laws made and adjusted THEONE I wonder why a figure like Chief Obasanjo is crying Islamization of Nigeria after being conferred with Islamic titles all over Nigeria when in power. A day after his outburst in Delta, the old foolish self-centered man was conferred an Islamic title in Kano by Emir Sanusi Lamido, Sanusi, he did not decline it and did not cry been islamized. As for me nobody can invite me into any violence. Nigerians should be careful of PDP, Atiku and Obasanjo speech of incitement against the state.
