The Assistant General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Johnson Odesola has thrown his weight behind calls for the restructuring of the Nigerian nation.
Odesola made the church’s stand known when he addressed newsmen after the monthly Special Prayer programme hosted at the national headquarters, Throne of Grace Parish, Ebutte- Metta, Lagos tagged: “Born to excel.”
The cleric stressed the importance of restructuring the nation, noting that it would go a long way to providing solutions to several unnecessary agitations across the nation and open doors for Nigeria to settle down and address important issues that would give Nigerians a sense of belonging.
He said, “I am happy that all stakeholders and leaders of thought have agreed on the need to restructure and I agree with it too. It will provide us an opportunity to discuss and address the teething problems that led to agitations in several quarters.
“We need restructuring that will further unify the country guided by selfless love, peace, good conscience and prosperity for all.”
He called on Nigerians to help one another grow instead of calling for separation.
“Nigerians should take advantage of the diversification and think of what to do instead of criticising the government.
“I submit that the present economic situation is an avenue for Nigerians to come up with a lot of bright ideas in the area of entrepreneurship”, he said.
