Oluwo calls for total submission to the will of God

From Lateef Dada, Osogbo

The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has described total submission to the will of God as panacea to the progress of Nigeria.

He also described God-fearing as the primary panacea to the socio-political challenges facing the nation, saying Nigerians must turn a new leaf in this Christmas season through total submission to the will of God.

In a Christmas message released by his press secretary, Alli Ibraheem, Sunday, the monarch lamented the decay of social value as seen through corruption- embezzlement of public funds, ritual killings, idolatry, immoral dressing, thuggery, drug addiction, pre-marital sex, and others.

He called on individuals to repent and open a new page of life dedicated to worship and fear only God.

“I urge Nigerians to open a new page of life dedicated to worship and fear only God in honor of the 2023 Christmas celebration. A life dedicated to God becomes more meaningful and productive.

“God-fearing individuals will eschew social vices such as corruption, embezzlement of public funds, ritual killings, idolatry, hard drugs, thuggery, arson, indecent dressings, etc.

We are not unaware of the challenges facing us as a nation. A few people and syndicates cornering our collective patrimony for personal aggrandizement. Monumental corruption associated with past leaders. We should be God-fearing by remembering the last day always,” Oluwo said.
