God plans to heal Nigeria through us — Osinbajo

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has said God's plan was to turn things
around for good and heal Nigeria through the new administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari.He said his election was ordained by God
for the sole purpose of assisting Buhari to build a nation that would
be admired by other nations of the world.Osinbajo said this on
Saturday at a thanksgiving service held at the National Christian
Centre, Abuja.The service was organised for the Vice President,
members of his family, friends and political associates to thank God
for the success of his inauguration, which was held on Friday.He said
the desire of God was that Nigeria should be governed in accordance
with the rule of law and justice.Osinbajo said, "I thank the great and
mighty God who has chosen me at this time by Himself to assist the
President of this nation."His plan is to make Nigeria a nation that
will be admired and respected amongst the nations of the earth."This
will be done by ensuring that corruption is eradicated and resources
meant for all are not cornered by a few, but are used according to
law, justice and equity for the benefit of all."The Lord wants a
nation ruled only in accordance with law and justice, where the guilty
are punished and the good is rewarded. This links to President
Muhammadu Buhari's inaugural speech yesterday (Friday). Surely, you
will agree that he emphasised these three clear designs of God."In his
sermon, Bishop Wale Oke of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries warned
Osinbajo not to allow corrupt people around him.Oke warned that the
Vice-President's career and reputation which had been built over the
years could be destroyed within a short period, if he allowed
corruption or ungodliness around him.He said, "If you are corrupt, you
cannot be a friend of God. We pray that you will enjoythe
manifestation of God all the days of your life."When others do not
have answer to a situation, God will reveal it to you. He will make
you the Joseph of this administration. God will reveal the secret of
the problems of Nigeria to you like Joseph and Daniel in the Holy
Bible."The cleric, however, told Osinbajo that to enjoy the favour of
God, he must choose the way of the Biblical Abraham and not that of
Eli.That, he added, is the only way that would make even generations
yet unborn celebrate the Vice President."The nation has a brilliant
hope in the combination of you and Buhari, who is known for his
uprightness," Oke added.Special prayers were offered for Osinbajo and
his family, the church and for the nation during the service attended
by a former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.); his wife,
Victoria; and All Progressives Congress' leaders.Osinbajo directed
that the offerings received during the thanksgiving service should be
taken to the camps of InternallyDisplaced Persons.
