Our insecurity challenges not designed by God —Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has said the challenges of insecurity being faced in the country are not God’s design but man-made.
The President said with prayers, christians and adherents of other religions and the Federal Government would bring the challenges to an end.
Jonathan spoke on Tuesday at the centenary celebration service of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC), held at Idi-Ishin, Ibadan, Oyo State, and was represented by the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Olajumoke Akinjide.
The president pledged to continue to strengthen the unity of the country and “firmly address the challenges of insecurity, and create the conditions for a brighter future.”
Jonathan, commended the Baptist Church as a good model in church democracy and resilience, urged the church to continue its contributions to the peace building processes and
development of the country.
Jonathan reaffirmed his commitment to national transformation and the mandate entrusted in him by Nigerians in 2011, calling for God’s intervention in the affairs of the country.
“The Baptist church in Nigeria has also exhibited strong commitment to the well-being and development of the society through great social work in health and education.
“Many of its hospitals, primary and secondary schools, university and seminaries, spread across the country were open to all Nigerians regardless of region, religion or social affiliation,” he said.
