The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins, has urged Nigerians to seek divine guidance in the quest for peace in 2023 to ensure that the New Year is free from chaos and anarchy.
• Says peace crucial to ensure rapid progressAccording to him, peace remains crucial and inevitable if the country hopes to reclaim its once enviable position as one of the most peaceful and also one of the fastest developing economies in the world.
Archbishop Martins, who noted that what the country needs now are God-fearing leaders who will wipe away the tears of the citizens, assured the people that there was nothing too difficult for God to do as He can turn around seemingly hopeless situations for good. Martins, while condemning the recent shooting of Mrs. Bolanle Raheem by a police officer, said it was very sad that the police officer not only killed the deceased but also two of her unborn babies.
Kolawole spoke, at the weekend, during the opening of the Freedom Festival 2023 with the theme, “Mighty one with mighty hand,’ at the Olomi, Olunde, Ibadan, Oyo State headquarters of the church.
