“The country is going through a difficult time as a result of economic challenges shaking the nation. As Nigerians, it is time we tolerate one another and put faith into action as demonstrated by Jesus Christ in Mark Chapter 4 verse 39 so that the country can return to prime position.
” The nation is going through so many problems like kidnapping, banditory, hunger and others, hence, Nigerians need to pray and work out the peace of the nation.”
Prophet Ayotunde while praying for the Peace of Oyo State and Nigeria as a whole assured the people that peace will return and reign supreme in the country come 2024.
He appealed to the people to always bless the country like the Americans do to their country– the United States of America, saying such attitude is part of faith capable of moving the nation forward.
