Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa on Friday, expressed worries over current happenings in Nigeria, saying that the country is in troubled times with a dwindling economy occasioned by various factors, including worsening insecurity across the nation.
Okowa made the statement at the funeral of late Mrs Comfort Nwagimeje at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Agbor.
He, however, implored Nigerians to be prayerful to save the country.
The governor said, “Pray for our nation because we are in trouble times; the country is insecure and our state is not left out because whatever affects the country affects the states.
“We are in trouble 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.”
