The Assistant General Overseer, Administration and Personnel of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Johnson Odesola, has called on the Federal Government to wake up to its responsibility of securing the lives and property of the citizens.
Odesola noted that the primary responsibility of any government was the security of its citizens and to improve their living condition.
The cleric spoke after a thanksgiving service in Lagos recently led by the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
The theme of the well-attended service was ‘Destined to win.’
Odesola said, “Looking at what is happening in Nigeria, if not that God has destined Nigeria to win, it would have been worse off. Hope isn’t gone in Nigeria. It’s very disheartening that the whole system is collapsing, not just the health system.
