Ahead of the May 29 inauguration of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu, a retired General in the Nigerian Army, Dr Olu Bajowa, has urged him to ensure his appointment reflects the diversity of the country.
Gen Bajowa said equity and fairness in his administration would further safeguard the peace and unity of the nation.
Speaking on Thursday during the opening of the 10th Synod of the Diocese on the Coast at Ebenezer Anglican Cathedral, Ilutitun in Okitipupa Local Government Area, he said as the nation embarks on building a new Nigeria, principles of fairness, equity, justice, and the rule of law, should reign supreme and be prioritized.
According to him, “Nigeria is presently engulfed with the problems of decadent and vices of moral compass, corruption, unemployment, poverty, hunger, and insecurity, which is compounded by a defective unitary constitution. These challenges require God’s intervention.
“God Who hears, cares, and divinely intervened to save all of us during the Covid-19 pandemic; the same God, with our ardent prayers, will continue to care for us, as the nation now embarks on building a new Nigeria, in which the principles of fairness, equity, justice, and the rule of law, should reign supreme.
“Nigeria is presently engulfed with the problems of decadent and vices of moral compass, corruption, unemployment, poverty, hunger, and insecurity, which is compounded by a defective unitary constitution.”
He explained that the selection of the theme of the Synod, “The God who hears, cares and intervenes” is timely, apt and divinely inspired.
He commended the Bishop of the Diocese on the Coast, Rt Revd Oluseyi Pirisola for his visionary and purposeful leadership, exemplified in his cerebral, hardworking, motivating, and endearing humility.
Bajowa said, “Personally, I feel highly impressed with the tremendous development of evangelism, Christian fellowship, and the sense of belonging that existed in the Diocese on the Coast since you took over episcopal responsibilities of the Anglican Diocese on the Coast.
“The innovative and fresh ideas introduced in your era thus far had made Christian religion more appealing to the younger generation, for service in the Lord vineyard.”
