By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The Federal Capital Territory, FCT , Minister, Barr .Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT,l has expressed optimism that Nigeria will overcome the current turmoil.

Wike gave the assurance on Thursday when the Methodist Prelate, Most Rev. Oliver Aba, visited him in Abuja.

He said, “I believe by the special grace of God, Nigeria would come out from the turmoil that we are in.”

“The signs are clear; we have no regret; and we have no doubt that victory shall be ours.”

The minister thanked the Church for praying for Nigerians and the government of President Bola Tinubu to actualize his vision and dreams in the “Renewed Hope” Agenda.

He noted that nobody could govern without the backing of God, stressing that it was important for every leader to know this.

“That is why Tinubu has never failed to ask religious leaders to continue to pray for his administration and for the growth of Nigeria.”

“Prayer is key. We can do all we think, but without God nothing can be achieved, and so his victory; his hope is anchored on God,” the minister said.

Wike assured the Methodist Church that the FCT Administration would consider their request for land to build offices and a media centre.

Earlier, Rev.Aba explained that the land, if allocated, would be used for the development of a liaison office and a benefiting media centre to enhance evangelism and other social amenities.

He said that a similar request was submitted to the Administration in 2023 but was not granted.

He pledged the Church’s commitment for continued prayers to support the Tinubu-led government to succeed.

“This is because, his success is our success, and his success is the joy of all Nigerians.”

“In actualizing his ‘renewed hope’ agenda, I pray for economic renaissance for our dear country and terming the evil of insecurity in the land.”

“I affirm that there is hope for Nigeria and Nigerians,” the Methodist Prelate said.
