The Christians United For Israel (CUFI) Prayer Outreach Nigeria, a group, has called on the Federal Government (FG) to strengthen ties with Israel towards ending terrorism in Nigeria.
The Executive Secretary of the group, Rev. Dr. Samson Ozovehe said in Kaduna during its end of the year dinner/a night to honour Israel, said that the State of Israel had the technology to end insurgency in Nigeria and they were ready for partnership.
“Nigeria stand to gain a lot from Israel. They have the technology and military know how to help Nigeria defeat insurgency that has crippled the economy of our nation.”
“Nigeria must rise and call for help from those that have the technology and defeat insurgency, if not they will infiltrate this nation in their number and they will cause us more harm.”
“I recommend partnership between Nigeria and Israel to defeat insurgency and boost agriculture. You cannot deny the fact that the major thriving business is agriculture. But today that can’t happen, farmers can no longer go to farm because of insecurity. Israel has the technology and we have the land, they will help us to develop enough food. Most of the farm produce are wasting in Nigeria, Israel can help to process them and take it to the whole world,”he said.
The Ambassador of Israel, Michael Freeman who was also represented by the Executive Secretary, urged Nigerians to encourage their leaders to deepen diplomatic ties with Israel and advocate for policies that promote peace and security in the middle East.
He assured that Israel will emerge from the recent challenges stronger, adding that they will strengthen the relationship with Nigeria.
The group also prayed for peace in the middle East and Nigeria.
