AT St. Jude’s Anglican Communion, Ebute Meta, Lagos, under
the Diocesan Bishop, Most Rev. Adebayo Dada Akinde, penultimate Sunday, which
incidentally, was the day Nigerian Christians joined their counterparts the
world over to celebrate Easter.
On this very day, the elated mother of Professor Yemi
Osinbajo, the Vice President-elect, came to the church, accompanied by her
friends and well-wishers and offered thanks to the Almighty God for what He has
done for her and her entire family, especially in the life of her son.
The Guardian had a chat with the 82-years-old mother of the
Vice-president-elect, Madam Bisi Osinbajo, which inquired to know how she
responded when she received message of her son’s elevated position:
“I feel happy and that is why I’m here today to thank God
for what He has done for me and my entire family. I feel I should be praising
God for Who He is. And I will continue to do this until I go out of this
world.”
Asked if she ever envisaged that her son was going to become
the vice president of Nigeria, the octogenarian said: “What I know is that God
knows everything.”
Explaining why she worships in the Anglican Church and her
son worships with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Madam Osinbajo
was quick to say that God is everywhere.
“God is everywhere and I’m happy they are there praying too.
Now, look at what God did —wonderful things in our lives. We are grateful to
Him.”
The octogenarian equally has a message of hope for Nigeria
and Nigerians and that message, according to her, was given to her by God, as
she read her Bible that very morning.
She said: “This morning, as I was reading my Bible, God said
I should say it so that the world will know what is happening. He said Nigeria
will be restored and the entire world will worship God. This is what God said I
should tell Nigerians, that Nigeria will be restored by the power of God and
the world will rejoice in Him.”
I hope Nigeria will be restored
