Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (rtd), has declared that “it is not too late to fix and re-order Nigeria”.
But for this to be done, he said that all institutions, including the church, must play credible parts for Nigeria to be better again.
He spoke in his sermon on Sunday during the first session of the 11th synod of the Anglican Diocese of Owo, held at Saint Andrew’s Anglican Church, Uso, Owo Local government.
He said: “What is happening in our country today calls for sober reflections, as we entreat God on behalf of our nation. I want to believe that in-spite of the gloomy situation made manifest by the escalating security and political challenges in our nation, the church in Nigeria, given its spiritual and human resources, occupies a strategic position to trigger process aimed at re-making, enforcing and reinforcing the blessings of Jubilee. It is not too late to re-define and re-order Nigeria.”
Gowon and Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State were given special awards at the occasion.
