President Goodluck Jonathan Friday in Enugu urged religious leaders to continue to pray for Nigeria, noting however that the present security and political crisis facing the country would ultimately strengthen her.
Speaking at Umuida, Enugu Ezike, Enugu state at the funeral of Mrs Paulina Eze, mother of Senator Ayogu Eze, President Jonathan said there was nothing unusual about the problems in the country, saying that "every country in the world has crises and challenges".
He
expressed optimism in the unity and survival of the country, stressing
that as a leader, he would not be deterred by the challenges.
He further said, "The world is facing crises including Nigeria. These days once you hear breaking news, its all about crises. I urge clergymen to continue to pray for the country. The nation has challenges no doubt about that, in the world there are challenges everywhere. When you open the television, they will always talk about crises here and there, there is always breaking news and whenever you hear this breaking news, it is never a good news”.A
