The Bishop of the Diocese of Niger Delta North, Rt. Rev. Wisdom Ihunwo has said that only leaders with the fear of God can rescue the country, insisting that the country was at a critical juncture.
He said God-fearing leaders were needed to help Nigeria overcome current security, socio-economic and political challenges.
He said the country was going through challenges mainly because of man’s inhumanity to man.
Bishop Ihunwo made the assertion in his sermon during the funeral service of late elder Amos Kinikanwo Nyeche at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Rumuepirikom, in Obio-Akpor council of Rivers state on Saturday.
The bishop, who spoke on the theme, “Your days are few, use them wisely,” lamented the growing insecurity and socioeconomic challenges facing Nigeria.
He said: “We pray that God will give us leaders in this country that fear him. When you have a leader that does not fear God, he can do anything, he does not care. People are dying, it does not move him. That is not a good leader.
“May God give us a leader that when people are hungry, he is hungry. When people are sick he is sick. When people are dying, he will not sleep, he will not travel. He will go to the people and mourn with them.”
