The Diocesan Bishop of Lagos Anglican Communion, Rt Rev Humphrey Olumakaiye, has called on the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to challenge the just- concluded presidential election as good patriots but avoid dragging the nation backwards.
Olumakaiye spoke at the centenary rally in commemoration of the Centenary celebration of the Diocese recently at TBS, Victoria Island, Lagos. “God has appointed a leader for us and it is important that we cooperate with the new government and move the nation forward by making sure that we are also patients that at the end of the tunnel, there will be light,” he stressed.
He appealed for calm and patience because “God is not done yet with Nigeria and respite will come soon.”
