The Vicar of the Church of the Resurrection, Anglican Communion, Lagos,
Ven. Ife Okupevi, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take
urgent steps in addressing the challenges facing the country.
Speaking at the funeral service for late Mrs Elizabeth Nwogwugwu, the
mother of THISDAY newspaper editor and Group Executive Director, Ijeoma
Nwogwugwu, Okupevi urged the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi to
inform the President that things are not working and Nigerians are
suffering.
Addressing Amaechi, Ukupevi said, “Please tell Mr. President that
things are not working. Nigerians’ joy has been turned to sorrow, there
is too much suffering in the land and this may lead to anarchy. Go and
tell all the politicians, all our leaders to serve Christ and to do
God’s will. Nigeria has been blessed with heavenly blessings. We are
better than United States of America because God has blessed us with
many things.
“We are better than United Kingdom, Japan, Paris, China, if we can harness what we have, Nigeria will be great.
“Things are not working well in this our country, the Niger Delta
Avengers are here, robbers, Boko Haram and kidnappers are making life
undesirable for Nigerians. Think of all other atrocities, think of all
the vices, corruption in this country.
“I know you represent the Head of State. Things are not working well,
so talk to the House of Assembly members, governors; you were once a
governor, that they should repair our roads and give us good water.”
