A Chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kogi State Nathaniel Taiwo has admonished Nigerians to cultivate the habit of praying  for the leaders at all levels and stop raining curses at them when things are not going well. 

Taiwo, who is a former  member of the Kogi State House of Assembly gave the admonition while speaking with  journalists in Lokoja on Friday.

He pointed out that it is only prayers that can help direct the leaders in their  ways rather than wanting to bring them down , adding that Nigerians should encourage the leaders to do more.

“Whenever I see people raining curses on those in authority, I am not always happy.

Raining curses on people in government will not solve our problem but make it worse.

” Nigerians should go beyond this pull down syndrome and inculcate the habit of praying for the leaders in government. When we do this,  I am very sure that Nigeria will be better” he stated.

He explained that despite the current challenges President Bola Tinubu’s administration will make progress in tackling various issues militating against the nation now.
