With the rising economic challenges bedevilling the nation, the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu and National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu are set to lead a national prayer session aimed at addressing Nigeria’s numerous challenges, Edum News reports.
The initiative which is coordinated with Christian and Muslim religious leaders, seeks divine intervention for the country’s social, economic, and security crises under the theme ‘Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs.’
The prayer chain was announced by Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, the Director General of the National Prayer Forum (NPF).
According to Afolorunikan, the gathering is a communal response, with the goal of instilling resilience in residents and pushing leaders to find long-term solutions for the country’s stability.
The sessions will last a week, with Muslims gathering at the National Mosque to recite the Qur’an, resulting in 2,191 recitations dedicated to national peace.
He said, “Unity is crucial for finding lasting solutions. 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.
“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.”
