The President of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) Rev. Dr. Stephen Baba Panya has called on the new administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to do all he can to secured the released of the remaining 97 Chibok School girls, Leah Sharibu among others still in captivity.
The Church leader in a statement signed by himself and made available to Newsmen yesterday in Jos the Plateau State Capital stressed that so many Nigerians are still wondering if they belong to the country and have a government or not considering the wanton killings and destruction of means of livelihood even without provocation.
He said the Church is praying that the administration will do all within its power to “bring back the remaining 97 Chibok school girls, our beloved Leah Sharibu, Alice Loksha Ngaddah, Grace Lukas, Lilian Daniel Gyang” and all others still in captivity.
He pointed, “Many citizens do not know if truly the government is theirs, this is because their immediate future seems to have been taken over by outrageously wicked killers who have cut short their aspirations.
“Nigerians are calling on the President to do everything possible to return the smiles of the captives once again. Our celebration can only be complete when those in captivity are set free, and those who are seemingly safe are truly safe.”
Panya added, “I am sure the President knows very well that the citizens of Nigeria today are not smiling due to overwhelming pangs of death emanating especially from insecurities, massive destruction of a good number of communities, kidnapping, hunger, and general lack, to mention but a few.
“Corruption has become the order of the day in both high and low places. Our economy needs total overhauling as means of livelihood has since disappeared from most quarters.”
He reiterated that Leaders at all levels must put behind them any sentiment and focus on meeting the needs of Nigerians irrespective of political affiliations, ethnic, religious and other differences.
“Nigerians are eagerly awaiting early fulfillment of numerous promises that all presently in authority made during their political campaigns just a few months ago. I therefore, call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to do everything possible to carry every one along.
He charged the President to be bold and right all the wrongs perpetrated by the immediate past administration in terms of “appointments of Ministers, Service Chiefs and other Heads of Parastatals. Nigerians of all ethnic and religious inclinations must be carried along.”
He however called on the entire Christendom to be law abiding, peaceful and true ambassadors of Jesus Christ in their spheres of influence and be sure to promote peaceful coexistence with all Nigerians.
