country as it is faced with security challenges.

curtail the situation, I think it is time for us to reflect on our various
capacities and religions to pray for this country”.

the area of security, however, he believes that with God’s intervention and the
prayers of the people, Nigeria will be a safer and more united country.

blessings on everyone.
