Even If You Fast And Pray Nothing Will Happen If ‘Agbado’ Policy Is Implemented – Fr Kelvin Ugwu

A Nigerian missionary priest working in Gambia, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, has said that prayers will not fix refineries nor stabilise the nation’s economy.

Ugwu stated this via his Facebook page on Friday.

The cleric explained that the reason he keeps advocating for good governance is because people are always asking him to pray and give them hope and encouragement to withstand the difficulty and hunger in the country.

According to him, bad government policy could make situations even worse.

He stated even if people pray and fast all night and day, once a wrong policy is implemented by the government it would all be a waste.

He wrote, “This situation in which you ask church ministers or priests to continuously pray and give people hope and encouragement to withstand the difficulty and hunger in the country is the reason we kept advocating for good governance. Because, in truth, prayers do not fix refineries or stabilize your economy. You can organize a 10-day crusade on liberating people from poverty and granting them open doors, you may fast and shout all night, but just one ‘agbado’ policy implemented. . .you will watch how those whose doors were already opened no longer see even windows to pass through.”
