Sequel to a statement credited to the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo that fasting and prayer are not enough in nation building, former senior special assistant on public affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan Dr. Doyin Okupe has faulted the statement insisting the nation can survive on fasting and prayer if the country puts God first.
Okupe in a series of tweets said, “I beg to disagree, with VP. Nobody can limit God or compartmentalize Him.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Osinbajo had in a meeting with mid-level civil servants on Wednesday said: “No matter how much you pray and fast, our country cannot grow without some of us deciding to do the hard work that makes nation’s work.”
Responding to this, Okupe in series of tweets disagreed with Prof. Osinbajo, insisting that God cannot be compartmentalized.
I beg 2 disagree wt VP.Yes there is no substitute 4 hard work but that alone cant make a Nation great.But God,fasting&prayer certainly will. https://t.co/sG9jZ0vZ2r

my stand on God is immutable and not based on public opinion rather on the Word of God as it written in the Holy Bible.Nothing Political.
