Insecurity: God will not give us challenges beyond us, says Osinbajo

 

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said Nigeria will not capitulate in the face of enormous challenges that plague it.

The number two citizen said this on Monday at the Ramadan reception hosted today by the President Muhammadu Buhari to celebrate Eid-el Fitr at the Banquet Hall of the State House.

He also noted that the success of the administration is hinged on the fact that God has not allowed it to encounter any challenge that is beyond it.

Osinbajo noted that the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the rhythm of Buhari’s government as it affected the economy negatively.

According to him, “Our government has been confronted with problems. COVID-19, for example, was a problem that nobody ever expected, it took two years of the life of the government and the life of the economy as well.

“We also have insecurity here and there, but it is in the very nature of God to provide everything that is required by the leadership to surmount the challenges that it faces. God will not give us any challenge that is beyond us.

“I want to just thank the Almighty God, for giving you, Mr President, all that you have required to tackle these challenges and for giving you the life and strength to tackle the challenges and surmount the challenges. I pray that the Almighty God will continually help you and help our government to tackle every one of the various challenges as we confront them.”

“Every generation of leaders is confronted with its own problems. There is no leader that is not confronted with his own or her own problems.

He also congratulated Muslims on the Ramadan, and prayed that “every good desire of your hearts concerning this nation, concerning your families, businesses and your work, God Almighty will bring to pass, in Jesus Name. Amen.”
