In a move to bring an end to the economic challenges baking the country, Senator Oluremi Tinubu (First Lady) and National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu are set to lead a national prayer session in response to these.
It’s a move that seeks divine intervention for the country’s social, economic, and security issues, under the theme ‘Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs.’
The event was announced in Abuja by Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, Director General of the National Prayer Forum (NPF), emphasizing the importance of unity in overcoming Nigeria’s crises. The initiative coordinated with Christian and Muslim religious leaders.
Afolorunikan said, “The prayer sessions will take place at significant venues: Muslims will gather at the National Mosque in Abuja for seven days, during which 313 individuals will recite the Qur’an, culminating in the recitation of the Holy text 2,191 times for national stability.
“Christians will meet at the National Ecumenical Centre for a week of intense prayer, with prayer warriors from various denominations focusing their efforts on the nation’s adversities.
Extensive outreach had been conducted, including meetings with leaders from the National Mosque, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and traditional leaders such as the Sultan of Sokoto.”
