The former Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State, Kayode Zubair, at the weekend observed that neither economic nor political solutions would ease Nigeria out of her present dilemma.
Lamenting the security problems adorning Nigeria as well as its threatening economic woes which he stated have placed the citizens in various untold hardships, Zubair suggested spiritual solution as the only panacea to the nation’s myriad of problems.
Calling on all captains of other sectors to bring their expertise to the table toward revamping the country, Zubair insisted that spiritual efforts should take the lead in finding lasting solution to the country’s situation.
Speaking at the annual spiritual gathering he convened at the first ECWA church in Ilorin Saturday night titled: Shabach Praise, Zubair told newsmen that: “though I am a politician, but it is now obvious that it’s only spiritual efforts that have not been fully employed in tackling the nation’s problems.
“I am a politician yet I still feel need for spiritual approach, let other professionals too tackle the nation’s problem from their own professional angle,” he added.
He said that he got the inspiration to convey the annual praise singing when he realised that Nigerians are too far away from God, “there is the need to bring them back to God,” he said.
According to him: “though fortune has been sunk into this annual event but there is no amount of money that worth the nation’s problem and the lives of its youths,” listing banditry, kidnapping, economic paralysis and other general problems as those now widely embraced by them.
He enjoined the Nigerian youths to turn to God and imbibe all His commandments.
In his sermon, the Minister, Rev Owojaiye Moses Babatomiwa, urged the congregation to prioritize peace among themselves as emphasized by Jesus Christ, describing it as the lasting solution to restful life.
