Bishop Harrison Obiogho, the Bishop of The Light of the World Mission Church, has urged politicians from all parties to bring the development they have witnessed and enjoyed in developed countries to Nigeria.
Speaking at the church’s annual convention, which took place at Eghwu/Okparabe Road, Eghwu Town in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, Bishop Obiogho called upon politicians from all parties to prioritize the introduction of similar advancements and benefits in Nigeria that they have experienced in more developed nations.
The convention’s theme, “Joy Unspeakable,” drawn from 1 Peter 1:8 was meticulously chosen to addressed the current hardships experienced by Nigerians.
During his address, Bishop Obiogho acknowledged the high expectations that accompanied the new government in 2023, yet highlighted the numerous challenges that persisted throughout the year.
He specifically pointed to the removal of fuel subsidy, which consequently led to a surge in the dollar exchange rate, high inflation, and increased commodity prices, all contributing to a significant financial crisis for the country.
Despite these challenges, Bishop Obiogho emphasized the need for a sense of “joy unspeakable” to guide the nation through this period of crisis, encouraging resilience and hope among the population.
Looking forward to 2024, Bishop Obiogho expressed optimism, foreseeing a better year ahead. He urged Nigerians to remain focused and steadfast, instilling belief in the notion that God would bless the country and provide the necessary creative ideas for further progress.
His message of hope and resilience resonated deeply with the congregation and served as a call to action for both the government and the citizens of Nigeria, emphasizing the importance of working together to bring positive change and development to the nation.
Bishop Obiogho’s words not only highlighted the challenges faced by Nigeria but also offered a beacon of hope for a brighter future, instilling a sense of optimism and determination within the society.
