Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has called on all Nigerians to pray and fast towards a successful elections in 2015, saying only God can decide who the leader would be.

Obasanjo said this when the National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Dr. Felix Omobude, paid him a courtesy visit in his Abeokuta, Ogun State, home.

The former president turned farmer said, “If there is anything that I would ask of you, it is that you should never stop fasting and praying for Nigeria. I always say that I’m an incurable optimist about this country.

 

“In my short span of life, I have seen a few unexpected things in this country when we thought that the end would just happen, but God made us to scale through.

 

“There is no situation we see or worry about that God will not see us through. That is my belief and that is what gives me confidence, it gives me courage, it gives me the ability to work for the country’s unity.

“I personally never thought we would have a leader like (late Gen. Sani) Abacha in this country, I was a victim of his despotism but God saw us through that situation.

 

“No matter what is happening, to me and the country, all will be well. And those of you who believe all will be well for Nigeria should continue to shout Hallelujah. God has done it for us.”

 

In response, National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Dr. Felix Omobude urged Obasanjo not to relent in his effort to make Nigeria a better country. 

 

He also said that the fellowship will continue to pray for the peace and progress of the nation.
