ONLY THE CHURCH HAS SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT CRISIS IN NIGERIA – Bishop Bankole Jefferson

Sequel to the current crisis ravaging in the country, a clergyman and the General Overseer of Mercy Tabernacle, Bishop Bankole Jefferson, has declared that
it is only the church that has a solution power to the crisis in the country. Speaking at the mid-week service of the church on Wednesday, the man of God said the various agitations by different ethnic groups are as a
result of the neglect by the government of the day.

The clergy said government needs to know the root cause of their agitations and also provide solutions to such act. Bishop Bankole Jefferson said the people are not being carried along by their representatives. He said, though, solution is not in their hands but from God.

(Matthew 24:21) In His message, Bishop Bankole Jefferson said that ethnic
division is not the solution to the problem of Nigeria. He went further to say that why some people are aggrieved
in the Nation is because they are not being adequately catered for and that national development is not equally
distributed. He cited an example of the early church in Acts 6:1 of how some people in the church felt cheated
and neglected as the church began to expand and that led to the division among them. He related this to the agitation of the BIAFRAN people.

Bishop Jefferson also remarked that the government should monitor how the federal government allocation is
being shared across the states to further avert any unforeseen crisis in the country.

He said he traveled to Kwara state through Kogi State. He described the road as nothing to write home about in a state that has Government. He described it as a death trap. He said without God’s intervention, the country will be moving from bad to worse.

“In any atmosphere where a group of people feel neglected, there will be complaints”. He further stated
that the solution is for everyone to be carried along and not for the Nation to be divided.

“My counsel to this present government is to wake up and do the needful. Almost getting to four years now, we
are yet to see any major development in the area of health, infrastructure, Security, employment and youth
empowerment “.

The Clergyman said that salvation will come from the church because it is only the Kingdom of God that will know peace and see prosperity; every other Kingdom will collapse but God’s Kingdom will reign forever and the only way to be saved from this destruction is to practice the principles of God’s Kingdom, He concluded.
