Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon on Monday said that Nigeria will not break up 2015, saying that God will uproot all the leaders with evil intentions against the country.

Speaking during official visit to to Gethsemane Prayer Ministries Cathedral, Eleyele, Ibadan presided over by National Coordinator, Nigeria Prays, Rev. Moses Aransiola, the former military leaders who faulted the prediction that the country would break up by 2015.

 He said that similar prediction by France was already failing. "Nigerians should stand up as one and intercede on the crises rocking this nation. That is when God will uproot all the leaders that have evil intention against this country. Nigerians needs to desist from creating problems which they cannot solve and stop blaming God for their shortcomings. "We had series of crises in the past and if Nigerians can pray fervently well, sooner or later this country will be free from its challenges; God has heard our cries and will surely answer.  "I don't believe that the prediction by America that Nigeria will break before 2015 will happen. France said the same thing in the past that we will break up before 2014 but we still stand as one.

"Every Nigerian should stand against the claims. If everyone of us believes that it will not happen, then it will not. I believe God will not allow such to happen. Nigeria Prays is really praying against such and that was

the reason why this group came into existence.

"Nigerians at home and abroad are very concerned about the crisis that is

rocking this nation and we believe that only prayer can solve it. If you love

Nigeria the way I love Nigeria, and if I love Nigeria the way you do and we

have faith then we shall overcome".

On political activities against 2015 elections, he said that most Nigerian

politicians were over ambitious."The politicians are over-ambitious. They

should be ignored, they spell doom for the nation. Politicians should not be

selfish but should protect the interest of the people to ensure equitable

development of the country," he said.
