“That is our prayer and that is why we must never stop thanking God. In all situations, give thanks to God”, Obasanjo told the congregation even as he burst into a joyful song.
The former President thanked brothers and sisters in the vineyard of God for their continuous and persistent prayers for the country, restating that at times like this, “it is such a difficult time. And when they are talking of being in fellow of mercy, “mine is more than a Fellow of Mercy, mine is Fellow of Grace and Mercy of God, anyone that is not enjoying this should put up his hand.
