Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said only God can ensure victory over insecurity.<\/p>\n

Adesina said most Nigerians have failed to understand that only God can ensure victory in the area of insecurity.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that Nigerians who refuse to pray for God\u2019s intervention in the area of insecurity are guilty of indirectly prolonging the war against insurgency.<\/p>\n

The presidential spokesman stated this in an article entitled, \u2018The Decent for the Indecent, the Just for the Unjust\u2019.<\/p>\n

Adesina, however, lamented that rather than pray for troops battling insurgency, Nigerians are wailing.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cBut victory is from God alone. That is what we must realize as Nigerians. Do we ever pray for our troops in the frontlines?<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we pray; God give me money. Give me a car. Give me a promotion. Kill my enemies, did you pray for our soldiers? Victory comes from God alone. If you don\u2019t pray, you may be guilty of prolonging the war in North-East, North-west, North-central, and all over Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, victory is from God alone. But do some people know? Does it ever enter into their consciousness? They only wail: \u2018this insurgency war has lasted too long. The banditry has demystified our military. They are cowards. The top guns don\u2019t even want the battle to end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigeria has been confronted with the challenge of Boko Haram Insurgency, banditry, and kidnapping lately.<\/p>\n

A few months ago students were abducted from Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.<\/p>\n

The students were, however, released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
