Bishop Ibenu, Kogi state CAN chairman.
By Correspondent in Lokoja
The agitation for the break up of Nigeria by some aggrieved groups in certain quarters in the country not withstanding, the Kogi State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN) Bishop John Ibenu, says God has revealed to him that country will not break up.
Bishop Ibenu disclosed this on Sunday in Lokoja while fielding questions from journalist at the 29th anniversary of Chapel of Freedom international.
Ibenu, who disclosed that God has been speaking to him in the last three month on the state of the nation,noted that those clamouring for division in the country did not have thorough knowledge of the founder of Nigeria.
He also disclosed that God told him that peace would soon return to the land.
“They are talking of separation, they don’t know the founder of Nigeria. The founder of Nigeria is God. God signifies unity. Each person speaks according to their level of understanding. We are not going to join issues with them. We join our issue with God and the scripture which says, pray for the peace of the land.
“There is no end to division. No matter how much breakage you give to human being, they will never be satisfied. Let us look into the God of peace. Let us love one another, come together and find a common solution that will make tomorrow better.”the cleric said.
The state CAN chairman, however, called on leaders at all level in the country to practice justice and fairness in governance and address corruption.
Ibenu added, “Let the leaders, from the President to the least, practice justice and fairness. The Bible says in the Book of Second Samuel 23, he that must rule over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God, showing equality, fairness to everyone.
“So, God has entrusted them in this country. If they damage it, God will hold them responsible for it. On our part, we are praying for peace, unity and stability and for oneness.
“God showed me many things, and I have been saying it for the past three months. God showed me that every Nigerian will take responsibility for the peace of Nigeria.
“That is why I said that the people must get up and take responsibility for the peace and after that, God showed me genuine peace, where the North, South, East and the West came together and they say they want to come together for peace.
“After that, I saw a screen that passed genuine peace. Therefore, I call on our leaders, if they have been singing for peace and they did not mean it from their heart, God is watching”.
The cleric however, called on the Federal Government to fix the road between Abaji and Lokoja,adding that the road which is now a death trap for motorist had been abandoned for too long.
” The Federal Government should re-award the road from Abaji to Okene, because the road is damaged. We have been saying these things. The contractors need to be changed,” he stressed.
