Fasting and Prayer won’t save Nigeria – Gbenga Daniel

Ex- governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel has said that Nigeria does not need fasting and prayer to tackle the problems facing it.
He said Nigerians must work to ensure that their potential is fulfilled in order to see the country prosper.

“For Nigeria to reach its potential it does not require prayer and fasting. God has done his own work for the country. It is left for us to work to ensure our potentials do not become liabilities,” he said

The ex-governor said this as the keynote speaker at Freedom Online’s fourth annual lecture in Lagos, he said the country requires a realist as a leader, not an idealist. He also emphasized the need for Nigerians to vote with their brains, not their stomach

“It appears that what is required for a prosperous Nigeria is beyond stylish leadership and idealism, rather what is most required in today’s world is realism. I believe realism is born out of experience,” he said.
