and stated thus, “there can be no more coveted preferment than that conferred by one’s brethren,” and adding in prayer that “you all will receive not just honour from men here on earth but in the end also from the Lord God Almighty, in Jesus name. The Church
must stand as the light of the nation, and Christians as the purveyors of justice and voices of peace. We must bear this Gospel of Jesus Christ knowing that it is the beacon of hope and succour for our nation. As bearers of the Gospel we are the reconcilers-in-chief. We are the salt to the wounds of a nation; we are the voices of peace and unity where division and strife have arisen. We are the purveyors of justice, for all of those who are dis-empowered. The good news is that this light is unquenchable.”

The Vice President had earlier conveyed the felicitations of President Muhammadu Buhari to the outgoing PFN President, Revd Felix Omobude on the successful and glorious completion of his tenure in office and congratulated the incoming President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke.
