”If God is your president, you’ll be so uncomfortable with life” – Cleric, Mensa Otabil tells Nigerians

Mensa Otabil, the General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church, expressed the belief that if God were the president of Nigeria, a significant number of Nigerians would struggle to endure.

This statement was shared during the Platform event on Monday, October 2.

According to him; “God is not your president; you just have to pray, because if God is your president, you’ll be so uncomfortable with life. If God was president of Nigeria, most of us would not survive,” Otabil stated.

“So, how does God behave as president of a nation? Well, check Israel. When he was president before they had a king, he ruled them, and how did he rule them? He gave them Manna; he had a good social system and a good welfare system.

“He (God) gave them electricity by day and air conditioning by night; he provided support. He provided the waterworks system, he gave them water from a rock, and so in terms of their well-being, he supported them, but he also wanted them to live by laws.”
