The Lead Pastor and Founder of the Victory Life Bible Church International, Apostle Lawrence Achudume has blamed the current state of the nation on bad leadership and empty promises by the political class who have succeded in milking the nation dry and therefore called for attitudinal change across all strata of the society, even as he called on the youths to rise to the occasion.
According to Apostle Achudume, it is saddened that the problem confronting the over 200 million Nigerians is as a result of the undoing of just mere 1 % of the population who are the political gladiators feeding fat on the nations wealth.
Apostle Achudume who went prayerful and philosophical observed " Nigeria, my beloved country, a nation blessed by God. The wickedness of vain men will not stop you from becoming great in the comity of nations as you were meant to be; your citizens will be great; we will not be a source of mockery because of less than 1% evil men and some mis-fit in government. Nigerians will rejoice and be at peace."
The Founder of the Victory Life Bible Church International who spoke against the backdrop of the 63rd independence anniversary of the country specifically called on the youths to take their destinies in their own hands as the current crop of leaders have failed them, saying they should rather focus more on God.
" It is disheartening these days to note that our youths mostly rely on the social media which has succeeded in ruining the lives of majority of them. The youths should rather focus more on God and take care of their future as no government can completely take them to the promised land".
While calling on the youths to be more determined and proactive to build a better future, he reminded them that most past leaders such as General Yakubu Gowon took the mantle of leadership as youths
"The future is not tommorow, the future is now. Nigeria youths should not postpone their manifestation. Many have management skills that can turn the nation's fortune around", he submitted.
According to him Nigerian youths have what it takes to emerge as future leaders as they are
Intelligent, and resourcesful, but government need to create an enabling environment for them to actualize their dreams and aspirations.
Speaking further Apostle Achudiume posited that in the last 63 years, the nations political journey has been laced with unmet promises which ended
up in bad road network, infrastructural decay, economic downturn and hopelessness.
" The current hardship being experienced across the length and breadth of the nation is another in the series of bad omen being packaged as political promises to hoodwinked the electorate and there is the need therefore for everyone to say no to these failed promises".
Apostle Achudume who expressed the hope that the nation can still be great again however wants the entire citizenry to take their future into their own hands and stop leaning on false hopes and promises as being handed to them by the political class.
The man of God called on the electorate to rise up to the occasion and work towards electing good leaders observing that the electorate should no longer depend on leaders who make promises they can not fulfill and embark on projects they can not complete.
" As the popular saying goes, a nation gets the type of leaders it deserves, it is high time the electorate begin to ask questions and also embark on soul searching to see to it that everyone is playing their part as expected ad there is the needed for attitudinal change by all and sundry for the nation to again experience greatness, he concluded.
