‘Nigeria needs US to tackle rising insecurity in the country- Bishop Isong

from Ene Asuquo, Calabar 

The founder, General Overseer of Christian Central Chapel International, Arch Bishop Emmah Isong has said that Nigeria needs the support of the United States of America to end the rising insecurity in the Country, maintaining that Nigeria lacks the political will to fight terrorism. 

Isong made the disclosure in Calabar shortly after an intersession prayer by a Support Group for an end to bloodshed in the country. 

He disclosed that the planned intervention in the rising insecurity in the country is from God and Nigeria needs the support of the United States to end the rising insecurity in the country. 

“Nigeria does not have the political will to end the insecurity in the country and the planned intervention by the United States is from God. 

“We need support in arms, technology, intelligence sharing  and you cannot fight international terrorism  without the United States because they have been there”, he said. 

He said the prayer group which has been in existence for over two years arose from the need for Christian leaders to speak with one voice.

He said the church is not crossing the boundary because they are the salt of the earth  and it will lose its saltiness  if it remains indifferent to political developments in the society.
