We can’t achieve much without love, prayer, Remi Tinubu tells Christians
Wof the President, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Christians in Africa to go beyond religious sentiments and tolerate one another.
She stated this, yesterday, when he received the leadership of African Biblical Leadership Initiative ( ABLI) led by former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon ( rtd), in her office at the State House, Abuja. The delegation was at the First Lady’s office to sensitise her on the 2024
International Conference of ABLI slated for October in Nigeria.
Noting that the church must harp more on biblical values, especially for the youth, Mrs Tinubu added: “Nigeria needs a lot of prayers at this time, especially for the youth. It is very good for us to begin to train the youth and give them proper mindset.
“The teachings in our churches should be biblical valuebased, so that we can get a better nation.”
She urged the leadership of
ABLI to continue with their programmes as a way of enhancing the spirituality of not only Nigerian leaders but Africa in general.
“African nations have a lot in common and we should come together to address some of the issues affecting us,” she stressed.
Earlier, Gowon had said the organisation sought to transform African nations through leadership with biblical values.
According to him, ABLI is a non- partisan organisation poised to raise a new generation of highly principled leaders with value for justice, value for integrity, value for wisdom and value for social harmony. The International Conference of ABLI was instituted in 2010 and has its conference every two years with the venue rotated among African countries.
The last one was held in Rwanda.
Nigeria is hosting the next edition on October 21 to 25, 2024, with the theme, ‘ Value Based Leadership For Africa’
