“There is no divine protection for the careless. It is our individual responsibility to stay alive,” he said.

 

 

Akinyemiju advised Christians to remain prayerful and depend on God for all their needs.

 

 

He also urged Christians to be well informed and become actively involved in politics, just as he prayed to God to grant the heart desires of the citizens in the coming year.
