Prof. Chinedu Nebo, Nigeria's Minister of Power on Sunday said that Nigeria's battle with boko haram was a spiritual warfare.
Nebo, a Venerable of the Anglican Communion, made the disclosure during a thanksgiving service by President Goodluck Jonathan and his family for the success of the wedding of his daughter, Faith, to her hubby, Godswill Osim.
Nebo who preached a sermon titled, "Jehovah, the omnipotent is our refuge and strength" which he delivered at the Aso Villa Chapel, Abuja, said an unnamed individual once asked him a few months ago to advise President Goodluck Jonathan to go fetish if his administration was committed to ending the terror attacks in some parts of the country.
The minister said the person, who approached him with the message, also informed him that previous administrations engaged foreign spiritualists who went round the country and made incantations in some strategic places.
"Several months ago, people criticized the government when it appeared that there was nothing good that was happening in the country. They spoke against the government and the insurgents continued to do whatever they felt they had been paid to do.
"A man came to me and he was not a Christian and said, ‘you know if you could tell the President to do so and so, these things will stop.
"He said people were imported from outside this country and they were paid by previous administrations to enter the planes and chant some incantations. They flew across all the perimeters of the boundaries of Nigeria.
"He said it was possible that such people had made false and injurious incantations against Nigeria. And that we need to appease them and invite them to go round the entire country again to make their incantations. But I said no".
"We are in spiritual warfare and many do not realize this. Our military will continue to do their work and God will help them. Intelligence agencies will continue to do their work and God will help them. But those of us that are vast in spiritual warfare should be able to know that there is more to these things that meets the eye.
"There are people who hate Nigeria; those that believe that except they rule, this country will not be in peace. But there is God in this country and He loves this country", Nebo added.
