First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu and National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu are to lead a national prayer session in response to the numerous challenges Nigeria currently face.
The event, organised in collaboration with Christian and Muslim leaders, seeks divine intervention for Nigeria’s healing process.
Director-General of the National Prayer Forum, Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, who announced the initiative during a press briefing in Abuja, said the event’s theme is: “Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs”.
According to him, “By the end of this prayer session, we believe that with God’s wisdom, our leaders and citizens will find the strength to confront our common enemies”.
Afolorunikan said for the prayer sessions, Muslims will gather at the National Mosque in Abuja for seven days, during which 313 individuals will recite the Qur’an, culminating in reciting the Holy text 2,191 times for national stability.
He added that 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.
Afolorunikan noted that 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.
