“All the various crises that we are having in Nigeria are so disturbing. This is something that God knows we should not be having after our Civil War.
“I have said and I prayed to God that I hope Nigeria will not go through another period of crisis that we went through.
“Let us pray to God that we are now beginning to see the end of all these crises. Pray to God so that God can touch the hearts of all those who are that way inclined to create problems,” he said.
