The Chief of Staff (COS) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has declared that no ordinary human being can carry Nigeria’s weight except with God’s help.
Gbajabiamila, who spoke on Wednesday, June 28, after observing the Eid al-Adha prayer in Lagos, asked Nigerians to always pray for President Tinubu.
The former speaker of the House of Representatives said it is a “difficult time for Nigeria” but expressed optimism that the country would weather the storm and become great again.
According to the COS:
“It is a difficult time for Nigeria, but we will turn that corner. What the president needs from you today and tomorrow is your prayer.
“The weight of Nigeria is not the weight any normal or ordinary human being can carry except with the help of Almighty Allah.
“It is evident, therefore, that Almighty Allah is with our president. He is carrying the weight for him.”
At the event, the president had earlier said Nigerians must make “sacrifices” for the country’s prosperity.
Tinubu said Allah would not burden the country with what it cannot bear, adding that Nigerians must live together with joy without recourse to tribalism.
