Nigeria Will Reach Its Destination – President Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan pointed out once again that despite the challenges facing the country in various facets, Nigeria will reach its destination of greatness.

The President stated this at a church service at the Headquarters of the Winners Chapel, Goshen City, on January 26, 2014, Sunday.

He said that what the Nigerian leaders really need were the prayers for them to lead the country aright.

President Jonathan also expressed the commitment of his administration to do the right things at all times for the country.

“I am not here to make a formal speech as we have learnt to talk very little, just like the Bishop said in his sermon, your prayers have been helpful.

“I request that you continue to pray for this country. Bishop, thank you for your message, it has been very instructive.

“As I listened to your message certain things were being reflected. I assure you this country will cross the bridge. Yes, we have challenges as a nation. Even the most developed nations pass through stages sometimes even more challenging than we face today.

“But what happened, yesterday, (Saturday) in South Africa will be the story of this nation.

“Those of you who watched that match will know that it is not easy at the beginning, it was as if Nigeria was going to be demolished, but all of a sudden the young men came very strong and we won.

“That is how it will be with the story of this country! With your prayers and commitment we will get to the destination.

“The promised land has never been an easy one for any nation, it was not easy for the Israelites and I promise that myself and my colleagues will continue to do what is right for this country.

“The bishop said it all that as mere mortals, there may be errors, but our commitment  to do what is right is total.

“We will do our best but like I always say whatever I do I should be able to tell God why I did it. All what we require is your prayers, and Nigeria will get to its destination,” the President said.

In return, Bishop David Abioye commended President Jonathan for signing the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, saying it will serve as a good example to other African countries.
