ABUJA – THE international president of Center for the Advancement of Christians in Politics, Barrister Victor Dan-Jumbo has declared that it would be extremely difficult for the black race to reach its potentials until it reconnects with its spiritual root which is in the Lord.

Dan-Jumbo made this frightening declosure while speaking at the 2012 breakfast retreat of the Centre titled; ‘Operation Rehoboth’ in Abuja. He also challenged Christians to embrace politics as people enjoy when the righteous rules.

According to him, all Africans nations are endangered because their roots are found in idolatry, noting “when the black race walks with God, they are blessed by God, when they walk away from God, they walk into destructive lifestyles”.

Dan-Jumbo pointed out African Union and ECOWAS have made made numerous deliberate efforts to solve the problems facing Africa, but Jesus said that “without Him, we can do nothing”; emphasasing that the major problem of Nigeria and indeed Africa has to do with leadership failure. He argued that such signifies divine anger and punishment from the Almighty God, therefore, we must return to Him.

“The major trouble that Africa is facing is leadership. Once those in leadership are babies, this is what would happen. Once you find that there is no leadership, it is an evidence that there is anger from the Almighty. African nations are undergoing this challenge, and we must make a difference. God is expecting much from Christians. God wants His children to do and change things as Christians in this world,” he added.

Also speaking, a former parliamentarian, Senator Ebenezer Chukwuemeka said that things would continue to go wrong as long as people who have what it takes to turn the nation around for good are exhibiting ‘I don’t care attitude’.
