The General Evangelist of Motailatu Church Cherubim & Seraphim Worldwide (MCCSW), Elder Prof. Joseph Otubu, has assured that the better years of the nation are still ahead.
He tasked Nigerians to remain optimistic and hopeful of a better tomorrow regardless of the current challenges.
Otubu, who spoke with reporters in Lagos at the weekend, said no matter how tough things become, Nigerians must never give up hope.
He said: “I believe with all my heart that we have not heard or seen the best of Nigeria. The best of this country lies ahead.
“We shall yet see a better, safer and richer Nigeria that will become the envy of all. Nigeria shall yet rise again. We shall still see better things in the years ahead.”
Otubu, a renowned gynecologist, urged Nigerians to keep hope alive.
While acknowledging that the socio-economic situations are difficult, he said things would soon change if Nigerians dare to trust God.
“We just have to keep our hope alive. I know the times are difficult and tough but hope will see us through.
“God will not fail us if we put our trust in Him. He will see us through and come true for us.
“He is a present help in times of need and will deliver this nation because we mean a lot to Him.”
The cleric appealed to the government to address the biting fuel scarcity, saying Nigerians are going through hard times with the situation.
“I want to beg that the government should address whatever is causing the scarcity. Living is becoming unbearable and businesses grounded.
“Government has to intervene and save our people from the agonies of the scarcity. I urge Nigerians to also show patience and understanding as the government works to salvage the energy crisis.”
