New Nigeria will emerge after the cloud passes — VP Osinbajo

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says a new Nigeria is in the making, and that it is covered by a cloud that will eventually pass.

Speaking at the national prayer breakfast which held in Abuja on Friday, May 21, the VP said there is a need for collective prayers, faith, hope and action, adding that Nigeria will prevail over its challenges.

“The prayer breakfast comes at a time of great travail and tribulation for the nation: in the throes of a pandemic for well over a year, leading to a severe economic downturn, loss of jobs and livelihoods; and as we climbed out of the recession, we have been faced with an unprecedented scale of insecurity, in different zones of the nation.

But we know that every time that a nation where the lives of the children of God is challenged, it is God’s call to His people to take action.

It is an opportunity for God to demonstrate that He is God over the nations, that He is the creator of the heavens and the earth, that He knows the beginning from the end. But God also wants us to know that He has ordained us to speak to life.

The new nation is birthing already. It is covered by a cloud, but the cloud will pass, and God Almighty will take all of the glory for the birthing of a new nation,” he said.
