President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Francis Wale Oke, has advised Nigerians living abroad to develop a positive attitude about the nation.

Besides, Wale Oke who is also the presiding Bishop of the Spirit Ministries, Ibadan, asserted that concerted efforts must be made by all Nigerians to ensure the nation does not become a failed state as being envisaged in some quarters

The renowned cleric who is currently in the United States of America for the annual convention of his ministry in America and Canada, said these on Sunday while dedicating a branch of his church in Maryland, USA.

“The truth of the matter is that there’s no place like home. In this wise, I want to implore all Nigerians living in other countries of the world, to develop a positive disposition towards Nigeria. Unless we all see the country as our common heritage and a project that must not fail, we will continue to move in the abyss of hopelessness and by so doing, ruining the future of generations yet unborn” Wale Oke warned

He said though Nigeria is currently at crossroads and going through some challenges that bother on insecurity and economic hardship, among others, the situation he maintained, was not irredeemable

According to the PFN President, with sincerity of purpose and the fear of God, especially on the part of the country’s leaders, the nation would be bailed out of the doldrums it has found itself.

“There’s no doubt, Nigeria and Nigerians are going through some difficult moments occasioned by banditry, killer Fulani herdsmen, general insecurity, corruption and untold economic hardship, we can come out of the woods if we all sincerely pursue equity and justice,” he stressed

While appealing to the government to evolve solutions that could cushion the effect of the challenges the country is facing, the Bishop urged Nigerians in the diaspora to always commit the nation in their prayers for it to overcome the myriad of problems confronting It.

“I want to implore all Nigerians including those abroad to continue to be fervent in their prayers for Nigeria so that the nation’s current situation will transit into a season of peace and rest for all of us. There is nothing like peace; it enhances growth and development on all fronts. This we should always covet” the PFN president asserted.
