A popular cleric and General Overseer of The God’s Anointed And Blessed Church International, Pastor Toye Ebijomore, has urged that for Nigeria to be redeemed from the series of challenges facing it, President Bola Tinubu must convene a national prayer.

According to the cleric based in Akure, the Ondo State capital, the national prayer is crucial for the survival of the country as it will enable Nigerians to seek divine guidance.

Speaking to newsmen, he revealed that there are sinister plans by some persons to cause disasters across the country, hence the federal government should empower security forces to forestall any breach.

While appealing to Tinubu to urgently do the needful, he said: “As I reflect on our nation’s challenges, I firmly believe that this National Prayer is crucial for our collective well-being because it will enable us to come together, seek divine guidance, and work towards a brighter future.

“I envision a Nigeria where unity, peace, and prosperity thrive, and I believe this prayer is a vital step towards achieving that vision.

“I am very confident in the Lord that by working together and following the Lord’s guidance, we would overcome our challenges and build a brighter future for Nigeria.

“Towards this end, we only need sincerity, humility, and courage to defeat every force against this godly mission for a lasting solution to our numerous problems.

“Since we desire Nigeria to be in the comity of great nations and we are learning democracy from the great nations such as America and Great Britain, we should also emulate their art of yearly national prayer, such as America’s National Prayer Day, or US National Prayer Breakfast, or Australian National Prayer Breakfast, which is a secret of the Lord with them.”
