Former Head of State and Chairman of Nigeria Prays, Gen Yakubu Gowon has urged Nigerians to unite and deal with the security and other challenges facing the country.
The elder statesman spoke on Saturday at the 25th anniversary of the Scripture Union Nigeria, Abuja area where he was represented by the National Secretary of Nigeria Prays, Evang. Austin Kemie.
“This occasion must therefore compel us to reflect deeply on the state of our nation, particularly the issues relating to moral decadence, sexual perversions,restiveness, precarious security challenges and corruption.
“We must rise up to deal with various issues of moral burdens in our educational institutions and labour to arrest the tide through a massive prayer campaign and action.
“If we do not rise to bring our youths into the path of rectitude, then their future prospects will appear gloomy and therefore we cannot build a virile nation of trust, integrity and good governance,” he said.
