“Followers on their parts must give up selfishness and promote the Nigerian identity rather than promoting individual’s tribes and religion,” the man of God added.

He advised that leaders and followers must sincerely change to be better persons for things to workout for good in the country again.
He urged Nigerians to trust God that the seeming victory of evil is temporary as at the end God would manifest his power and good would defeat evil.
Speaking about leten period that culminated with celebration of Easter was the process of transformation for Christians.
He explained that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has brought salvation to mankind and man indeed is safe.
