Akanji made the call at the induction of Rev. Thomas Takpatore as senior pastor of First Baptist Church Nigeria, Garki Abuja on Sunday.

In an interview with newsmen on the sideline of a special induction service, Akanji said that followers have a role to play in addressing the challenges facing the country.

“We have our own human responsibilities in the difficult times we are in, we must be praying for government.

“The Bible says that the people of God must pray for the leaders because nobody assumes leadership without the knowledge of God; whoever that person is, God has put him there.

“It is our own to pray for them and support them and then to be good citizens to contribute our own quota.

“President Tinubu cannot be everywhere you, in our cars, we should not break the traffic rule, we should not drop banana peels from our cars on the road; we should keep the cities clean. We should be fair to the environment.

“We should be lovers of one another, let the killings and attacks of people that is shedding blood should discontinue in our country.

“And I tell you the truth, the whole world will come to watch Nigeria, if we can just embrace brotherly love among one another,” he said.

Akanji who is also the president, Nigerian Baptist Convention, charged the new senior pastor to always seek the face of God.

He tasked him on good leadership and steady commitment to his duties as the shepherd of the church while urging members to give him the required support. ((NAN)
