Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has called on all Nigerians to engage in prayers for the nation because “we are in troubled times.”
Okowa’s statement comes amidst the country’s dwindling economy occasioned by various factors, including worsening security across the nation.

Speaking on Friday, the governor advised Nigerians to put their trust in God especially this trying time.

He said, “Many people are hungry and can no longer feed themselves because they can’t farm the way they used to due to growing insecurity.

“Pray for our nation because we are in troubled times; the country is insecure and our state is not left out because whatever affects the country affects the states.

“We are in troubled times because many people are hungry and can’t feed themselves, but we have hope that God will take control and change things for the better.

“Our economy has dwindled and insecurity is further worsening it; we can no longer farm as we used to but we are hopeful that God is able to turn things around for the nation.”
