Methodist Prelate Urges Nigerians to be Patient with President Tinubu

By Ifeoma Ikem

 

The Methodist Church Prelate, Dr. Oliver Alli Abah, has appealed to Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, emphasizing that the country is undergoing a growth phase.

Dr. Abah made this plea during the Christmas service at the Methodist Church in Lagos, where he assured Nigerians that “there’s light in the tunnel” and better days are ahead.

According to Dr. Abah, President Tinubu is working diligently to ensure that everything is in place for Nigeria to thrive. He noted that the president’s decision to contest the election was motivated by a desire to address the country’s shortcomings and provide Nigerians with the dividends of democracy. Dr. Abah likened this to “a river flowing with honey,” symbolizing a brighter future for the nation.

Dr. Abah also highlighted the importance of love and unity among Nigerians, citing God’s manifestation of love through Jesus Christ. He emphasized that the absence of peace and the presence of war are indicative of a lack of love, and urged Nigerians to demonstrate their fear of God by embracing the love of Christ.

The Methodist Prelate further assured Nigerians that peace and harmony will prevail when they follow Christ’s instructions and keep his commandments. This message of hope and unity resonates with Nigerians as they look to the future with optimism.
