Nigeria Needs Divine Intervention As In The Past.
from The Voice magazine
Does anyone remember 1983–1985? Under Buhari, a Muslim, and Idiagbon, his assistant, also a Muslim, Life was tough in every sense of the word until God acted. In July of 1985, Buhari and Idiagbon were swept from power.
In 1993, we had MKO Abiola, a Muslim, and his running mate, Baba Gana Kingibe. They were supported by all. There was no WhatsApp at the time, and Christians never had the information that Abiola had sunk 1 million Bibles in the Atlantic Ocean and was an agent of the TYE Jihadist Muslims. In June 1993, Christians and Muslims alike trooped out and voted for Abiola and Kingibe. That morning, after an all-night prayer meeting and two hours to go and vote, a brother said, “Thus says the Lord, neither Abiola nor Tofa, but God’s will.” Those who had been praying were shocked to hear that. The votes were counted, and the results were being announced. Then the unexpected happened. IBB annulled the election.

Neither Abiola nor Tofa were accepted by God. Fast-forward to 1997 or 1998. Sanni Abacha was in charge. Five political parties were formed. All adopted Sanni Abacha as their presidential candidate. There was no opposition from anywhere. Then, on June 8, 1998, the unexpected happened. Abacha was found dead. God acted again. There was a clamor for Abiola to be brought back as president from prison. Again, the unexpected happened on July 7, 1998, when Abiola was pronounced dead. God acted again. God cannot be mocked. He is always on the throne.
He sees that Nigerians are again helpless. Will he act? Let’s wait and see. God is alive on this planet. God is very much around. So brethren, there is no need to fight one another. We should remain united in asking for God’s intervention. When all else fails, remember that God is around to act. He will still act. Therefore, the Muslim-Muslim ticket and the attempt to impose Muslim Jihadist government on Nigerians would fail, as it has in the past.
