2019: There is danger ahead – Prophet Samuel Abiara warns

Retired Christ Apostolic Church Evangelist, Prophet Samuel Abiara, on Saturday stated that danger lurked around the 2019 general elections. However, he stated how it can be avoided.

This is said while addressing World Press Conference heralding 2018 Jesus Festival on the church premises along old Ife Road, Ibadan.

This is what he said according to the Nation

“Nigeria needs fervent prayers at this time, particularly towards the forthcoming general elections so that peace of God will reign before, during and after the elections.

“I cease this opportunity to call on all people of the world, particularly the politicians, people in government, business men and women, students, artisans, judges, lawyers and all professionals they should come within this week so that we can all raise our voice in prayer to God for the peace, progress and prosperity of our country.

“There are many clerics and denominations praying for the country and that is why there is still peace in this nation. Prayer has been the saving grace upholding the country.

“God told me that there will be peace for Nigeria if we pray. If we pray for Nigeria, the future is good and there won’t be any problem, if we pray irrespective of religion of denomination.

“We don’t need to listen to the prophets of doom concerning the country. I call on other prophets and other servants of God even if they see anything negative, we must not  speak evil but pray for the peace and unity of the nation.

“There is danger ahead but with prayers we know all will be resolved especially among the politicians.”

The cleric also enjoined the people to shun hate speech and be ready to exercise their franchise.

“Nigerians need to shun hate speeches in our efforts and campaigns especially the politicians. Hate speech must be an abomination. Politicians must speak in peace.

“Nigerians must go out to vote for people of their choices. You must not allow yourself or your children to be used as tool of violence and hooliganism. It is dangerous.

“Parents must warn their children not to be used for violence. Nigerians must not sell their vote because it has longer repercussions.

“Government must do the needful to ensure that workers salary issue is resolved. The demand for N30, 000 must be favourably considered by government because it is one of the dangers ahead. This is an issue that can cause problem and rancour if not handled well.”
