National Unity Forum prays for President Tinubu, INEC Chairman; Declares Feb. 25th National Intercession Day.

A non-governmental organization, the National Unity Forum, today converged on the Unity Fountain, Abuja, where they held intercessory prayers for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the 36 state governors and all others in positions of authority in the country. The group particularly prayed for the success and wellbeing of Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while describing his position as pivotal to the sustenance, growth and development of our nation’s democracy.

In a statement by the National Coordinator of the forum, Com. Godwin Meliga, the group’s decision to resort to prayers to God as a way out of the myriad challenges confronting the nation was informed by the time-tested efficacy of prayer, and guided by scriptural injunctions as contained in 1Timothy 2:1-2, thus,” I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, Intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives…”

The group, composed of both Christians and Muslims, has also set aside the 25th day of February every year as its National Intercession Day. It therefore enjoined all patriotic citizens of Nigeria, regardless of their faith, to consider it a civic obligation to spare some moments on the 25th of February every year to join their hearts in prayers to God for national peace, unity and progress.

After the session of prayers, worship and thanksgiving at the Unity Fountain, the group embarked on a solidarity walk to the Headquarters of INEC in Maitama, where they specifically prayed for the Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu, and the success of all subsequent elections in Nigeria.

The group thanked Prof. Yakubu and his team for their strident efforts at ensuring the success and credibility of the 2023 General Elections. It opined that given the tensed state of the national polity prior to the last general elections, due mainly to socio-ethnic and geopolitical diversities, any attempt by INEC to have delivered a compromised electoral process could have triggered violent upheavals across the country, which may have threatened the very fabrics of our mutual coexistence.

“But the fact that INEC, under Prof. Yakubu, was obviously above board in the discharge of its mandate during the last general elections, helped to a great extent in disarming all those nursing sinister intentions for the country, including all those who may wish to capitalize on the outbreak of widespread electoral violence to achieve their narrow destabilization agenda for Nigeria,” stated Com. Meliga.

Com. Meliga further stated that while other Nigerians may resort to acts of self-denial, civil disobedience and open protests in order to express their disenchantment with the prevailing socio-economic and political challenges facing Nigeria, his group resorted to praying because it was the best option for the country at the moment, citing the book of Job 12:23 -25, “He (God) makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations and dispenses them.”

When the divinity is the one dealing with you, your prayer is an abomination.

Evil politicians and officials ganged up to desecrate our nation , remove the ancient landmark and by so doing brought curse and dearth on the land which is felt all over the length and breath of the land.

The hand of divinity is so heavy upon our nation.
The dearth in our nation is as a result of the desecration. Tinubu is operating with a cursed mandate.
If he likes let him employ angels, nothing tangible will happen.
It will be one step forward and 100 steps backwards.

Our nation needs healing and restoration.
We must repair the desecrated land, The ancient land mark must be restored. The descrators must pay the price and leave.

If the desecration and desecrators continue , forget Nigeria.
Those with clean hands and who rely on God will enjoy strange divine help.

Clowns and charlatans

Which God will hear the prayers of liars and confusionists.

Funny lot

Other nations are solving their problems by themselves and we are here praying to God for his intervention.

Useless people..God has already dealt with them all

Why is it that it's always people that are hungry who come out to do this in public. What a show of shame. Look at how hungry they are, see that one folding his arms

IPOBidients any bad news to make you happy?


Imagine how just dey disgrace this bitter and hateful souls of enemies of Nigeria


They spread news that Qatar rejects Asiwaju yesterday and today same Qatar has changed their mind ?

Pathetic obifools

K

It's not by prayers, my Bible tells me praying without doing the right thing is tantamount to efforts in futility . God designed the world in such a way that, whatever you do, you would get the result. In other words, you can be doing the right thing, even without praying, result would manifest same with wrong. God give us brain to deploy it in doing the right thin. Tinubu didn't use his head before announcing subsidy removal.

If to say na by praying alone, Nigeria would have become the first world country.

LOL

Nonsense

hungry dey land

I saw 131k Mahmood Yakubu curses mention on Twitter today eeh... Make the man no just open Twitter, those prayers are something else.

Whereas those who are cursing the same Yakubu involved other religions Traditional religions where some from Ifa, Ogun, Amadioha, etc are deeply involved.

God does not act on what man do for himself. Nigerian problemis are self inflicted ..Here leaders and decision makers are selected on ethnic & religious sentiments not competence
