The Retired General Evangelist Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide, Prophet S.K Abiara has charged the Federal Government of Nigeria to punish bandits and criminal elements terrorizing the nation.
Abiara while speaking at a press conference in Abuja over the weekend stated that justice needs to be done so that criminal act such as kidnapping and banditry must stop in Nigeria.
“The criminals are very rampant, and this is because there is no justice. I will like to advice the government that criminals should be punished, and proper justice be done, this will allow others to stop the criminal act”.
Meanwhile, Abiara noted that it is time Nigerians rise to pray as one nation so that peace will reign in the land.
Abiara however urge the federal government to follow the steps of developed nations in curbing the movement of cattle herders in Nigeria.
“Though the government is trying on this issue but I will like to advice the government to borrow a leaf from developed nations where you cannot see illicit movement of cattle across their road.
“Countries such as USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA and the likes, most of our leaders too travel abroad, they can never see these animals moving about the city center, we must find a way around this.
“It is very embarrassing even for visitors to see this happening in our country, so I want to advice the government to make adequate arrangements like other developed countries”. He added.
Abiara further advice that it is time states go into farming instead of waiting for a particular part of the country to bring in food.
“I want to advice all the states to go into farming, when all states have sufficient food and livestock, they will not bother about shortage of food, so I want to advice all the states to go into farming and livestock farming too to ensure food sufficiency”.
Also, Abiara stated that in order to ensure peace and tranquility in the country, the elected leaders must fulfill their campaign promises to the electorates while the masses too should exercise patience for government to fulfill her mandate instead of resulting to violence.
“We are in a democratic government and as such the government must fulfill campaign promises and must listen to the yearning of the electorates.
“This is very important because when you do not listen to the people and fulfill campaign promises, this will cause violence, and the masses too should be patient on the government particularly the youth”.
Abiara, through his foundation distributed food items, cash donations and empowerment scheme for the less privilege, noted that people are hungry, and as such the need for the donation.
He thereby advised well meaning Nigerians and philanthropist to use their wealth for the poor as exemplified by Jesus Christ.
“People are very hungry, and it is very good to lend a helping hand, so am using this opportunity to call on those who have should share with the less privileged in our society”.
