The Presiding Bishop of Victory International Church, Bishop Taiwo Adelakun, on Wednesday  assured Nigerians that the country’s worsening security challenges have reached their peak and will begin to decline, expressing confidence that the nation will not slide further into violence and instability.

Adelakun, who is also the National Vice President (South West) of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), gave the assurance  during a press conference at Rehoboth Cathedral, Oluyole, Ibadan, where he addressed national concerns while announcing the 2026 Global Miracle Crusade.

He said recent incidents of killings, kidnappings and widespread insecurity, though deeply troubling, represent a turning point rather than a permanent descent.

 

“I believe we have reached the climax of insecurity in Nigeria. From this point, it will only go down; it will not rise again. Anyone who wants to destroy Nigeria, God will not allow it,” the cleric said.

 

The bishop argued that the scale and visibility of recent violent events have punctured what he described as long-standing denials surrounding targeted killings and persecution, particularly against Christians.

 

According to him, these developments are increasingly drawing global attention and could compel the international community to take Nigeria’s security crisis more seriously.

 

“Recent events have exposed the hypocrisy and false narrative that there is no genocide or persecution in Nigeria, Adelakun said. 

 

“They are making clear statements to the world and will embolden the international community, especially the United States, to become more involved in addressing insecurity, kidnapping and killings in the country.”

 

Adelakun acknowledged the depth of Nigeria’s current challenges, noting that divine help often comes at moments of national helplessness. He said the assurance of God’s intervention does not deny the existence of hardship but offers hope beyond it.

 

“When God says, ‘I will help you,’ it presupposes that there will be situations where we are helpless,” he said. “But His help covers every situation.”

 

The cleric also suggested that moral and spiritual voices have a role to play in shaping national consciousness, adding that political leaders and public officials are not insulated from such messages.

 

“Other people are watching, and it will not be surprising that those in government are also watching,” he said. 

 

“The Word of God can touch their hearts.”

 

Adelakun spoke while unveiling details of the seventh edition of the Ibadan Miracle Crusade, now expanded into the Global Miracle Crusade, scheduled to hold from January 29 to February 1, 2026, at Wonder City, opposite Dominion University, along the Ibadan–Lagos Expressway.

 

He said attendance has grown steadily over the past three editions, reinforcing what he described as a divine mandate to expand the programme globally through digital platforms.

 

According to him, participants from Africa, Europe, North America and Australia joined the crusade last year through online streaming, with expectations that South America would be added in the coming edition.

 

To facilitate physical attendance, Adelakun said the church plans to deploy free shuttle buses across all 11 local government areas in Ibadan, covering major routes including Moniya, Ojoo, the University of Ibadan, Mokola, Bodija, Yemetu, Bere, Molete, Ring Road, Challenge and parts of Lagelu Local Government.

 

He urged Nigerians to approach the programme with hope, stressing that salvation, healing and restoration remain central to its purpose.
