President Goodluck Jonathan has said that Nigeria will rise from seeming defeat to achieve victory much to the surprise of detractors and destabilizing powers.
He made the statement at the Winners Chapel in Goshen City, Nasarawa State, where he worshiped with the congregation for Sunday service, yesterday.
The President said, “I am not here to make a formal speech, as we have learnt to talk little. Just as the bishop said in his sermon, your prayers have been helpful. I request that you continue to pray for this country.
“The Promised Land has never been an easy one for any nation; it was not easy for the Israelites. But I promise that my colleagues and I will continue to do what is right for this country.
“The bishop said it all: as mere mortals, there may be errors, but our commitment to do what is right is total. We will do our best. But as I always say, whatever I do, I should be able to tell God why I did it.
“As I listened to your message, certain things are being reflected. I assure you this country will cross the bridge. We have some challenges as a nation. Even the most developed nations pass through certain stages, sometimes even more challenging than we face today.”
On the Nigeria/Morocco match, he said: “But what happened yesterday (Saturday) in South Africa will be the story of this nation. Those of you who watched that match will know that it was not easy at the beginning. It was as if Nigeria was to be demolished. But all of a sudden, the young men came strong and we won. That is how it will be with the story of this country, with your prayers and commitment. We will get to the destination.”
