He charged Nigerians to ensure that they carry out the will of God over the country, saying God's kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy will come to the land soon.

Adegboye, however stressed that God will reign in Nigeria, despite the challenges facing the country.

Quoting Proverbs 14:34 from the holy book, Adegboye added that the scripture gives Human beings the opportunity to return to God, each time they err, saying doing things right, as Nigerians will exalt the country.

Arc. Adegboye who expressed displeasure at the rate Nigerians break law with impunity, urged them to adhere to the stringent laws of the land, for the country to be better.
