“It is not writing a long letter to Mr President that shows patriotism but by offering useful suggestions that would ensure good governance.
"We should all seek divine intervention in the nation’s socio-economic and political activities for peace, progress and political stability," he added.
The cleric said the time was ripe for citizens to shun sentiments and support the government to move Nigeria out of its present insecurity challenges.
