Monday, November 4, 2024- First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu and National
Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu are set to lead a national prayer session aimed at
addressing Nigeria's pressing challenges.
Organized by the National Prayer Forum (NPF) and supported by Christian
and Muslim leaders, the event seeks divine intervention for the country's
economic, security, and social crises.
Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, Director General of NPF, announced the
initiative during a press briefing in Abuja. Under the theme “Seeking the
Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs,” Afolorunikan emphasized the
importance of unity and collective prayer as crucial steps toward overcoming
national challenges.
The prayer sessions will be held at two main venues. Muslims will
convene at the National Mosque in Abuja, where 313 participants will engage in
Qur’anic recitations for seven days, aiming to complete the recitation 2,191
times in a powerful appeal for national stability. Simultaneously, Christian
prayer warriors from various denominations will gather at the National
Ecumenical Centre for a week of intense prayer, concentrating their efforts on
Nigeria's adversities.
Extensive outreach efforts have been made to ensure broad participation,
including consultations with the President of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN), the leadership of the National Mosque, and traditional figures
such as the Sultan of Sokoto. Afolorunikan expressed optimism that through
unity and prayer, Nigeria would enter 2025 with renewed hope and purpose.
