The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has declared national prayers for God’s help and intervention in the affairs of Nigeria on Friday.
In a statement by John Daniel, the
Chairman, Local Organising Committee.
CAN said that the prayers were also to implore God’s help in preventing disorder, confusion, harassment of voters and other electoral and social vices in the country and the forthcoming elections.
“We consider this imperative in view of the fact that our nation is passing through very challenging times at the moment despite its abundant natural, human, and material resources.
“Nigeria is a vibrant and virile land that is full of colour, wealth and all that it would take to be one of the greatest nations on earth.
“Sadly, the country has not yet reached where it should be at the moment due to some inherent problems,” CAN stated.
“We urge all and sundry to join the solemn assembly, in order to usher the country into a new era of peace, unity, safety and all-round prosperity.
“Participants are to assemble at the National Christian Centre in Abuja for the prayer retreat by 10:00 am prompt on Friday this week. We urge all and sundry to join the solemn assembly in order to usher the country into a new era of peace, unity, safety and all-around prosperity.
“May God use the programme to address the spiritual dimensions of the challenges plaguing the nation and frustrate every evil plan against the unity of the people”. CAN added.
