The Presidential flag-bearer of Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi, has cried out to God to deliver Nigeria from the escalating insecurity currently facing the country among other challenges.
Obi made the spiritual call yesterday night, during his worship with other dignitaries at Dunamis International Gospel Centre, headquartered in Abuja, the federal capital, as the Senior Pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche, led the congregation to pray for peace and security of the country.
Thousands of worshippers had thronged the church for its Mid-Year Praise and Worship Night, to seek the face of God over the state of security and other challenges facing the country. During the visit to the church, Obi was accompanied by Governor Emmanuel Udom, of Akwa-Ibom State and the First Lady of Delta State, Edith Okowa, and a pastor, who also prayed for Nigeria.
Dr. Enenche, while praying for the nation, said that Nigeria was at war with the forces of hell and that prayer was a potent weapon to defeat them. Introducing Obi to the congregation, Enenche’s wife, Becky said: “And we also have tonight, Mr. Peter Obi, who has joined for the service this evening”.
The LP candidate could be seen holding the Nigerian flag, kneeling down, as he heaped prayer on Nigeria. “God, we have no other country except this one; God, deliver us; God, heal us; God, liberate us; we have no nation except this one; God, deliver us!” Obi prayed. The congregation erupted in loud applause as the worshippers rose to cheer Obi. While the cheering was on, Enenche himself walked to the presidential hopeful and shook his hand.
Recall that Obi, a former Anambra State Governor, is one of the frontline contenders for the 2023 presidential election. He has enjoyed on-line patronage and growing acceptance among many youths, especially from the southern part of Nigeria since he emerged as the LP presidential flagbearer.
