GENERAL Overseer of House of Redemption
International, Archbishop Kalu O. Kalu has called on Nigerians to pray without
ceasing for the nation and its leaders, assuring that an end will soon come to
all forms of anti-social upheavals in different parts of the country.
Specifally, Archbishop Kalu also predicted an
end to Boko Haram menace in the North Eastern part of the country, arguing that
it was politically motivated and since that purpose has been achieved there
will naturally be a truce.
Speaking in an interview at the end of his
church’s 4-day convention in Surulere, Lagos the cleric who established the
HORI in 2009 after several years with St. Joseph’s Chosen Church of God, said
Nigeria is passing through a phase, at the end of which the citizens will
rejoice.
Theme of the convention was: ‘My day, my
time, my season of turnaround.’
According to him, the current insurgency in
parts of the North was organised for a political purpose, but now that that
purpose has been achieved the backers of the dream will back off soon.
“If the insurgency ended immediately after
the elections everybody in the country would have been left with no alternative
than to believe the rumours that have been flying around,” adding “but for its
end, it will end very soon.”
The Abia State-born cleric believes that
Nigeria, as a nation, had been established by divine arrangement, noting that
every attempt by individuals or groups to tear or balkanise the nation will
come nought.
“This nation’s unity is by divine
arrangement. Every nation goes through a phase and Nigeria is not an exception.
Britain, America and all the developed nations of the world had gone their
different phases and today, America is the most powerful nation of the world.
Life is in phases and Nigeria is going through its own,” he explained.
He therefore enjoined every Nigerian to hold
on to God. He argued that a nation that holds on to God will naturally be
lifted up, lamenting that despite the upsurge of worship places in the country,
there is no righteousness in our governance.
