No fewer than 1,000 prayer warriors of the Organisation of African Instituted Churches (OAIC) across the country will on Saturday gather in Ilorin, Kwara, to offer prayers for the success of President Bola Tinubu and Nigerians’ economic survival amidst the ravaging socioeconomic hiccups.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Thursday, the state chairman of the OAIC, Evangelist Thomas Adeboye, lamented the current socio-economic and security situation in the country, urging Nigerians to embark on a prayer sojourn for the president and the nation in general.
According to him, President Tinubu has shown his love to revive the country, adding that “it takes all our efforts and support, especially divine intervention to work for us”.
“Nigeria needs prayer over banditry, the ailing economy, and the threatening political situation. We must feature special prayers for President Tinubu and the governors for God’s wisdom and direction,” he stated.
He also urged President Tinubu to institute policies that have a human face.
“We know that he and the governors are trying. We implore them to always make sure that whatever policies they intend to formulate must be endured and enjoyed by the populace”.
The cleric also said that delegates expected at the maiden convention, themed, Walking in Dominion, would also enjoy free medical outreach and health advice on eye care, diabetes, among other ailments.
He said the theme would spur the group into reaffirming its authority in Christ as believers; encourage spiritual growth, unity, and bold leadership in the face of contemporary challenges.
According to him, the OAIC would also recognise notable individuals who have distinguished themselves while patronising the group with awards and decorations amid sermons, worship, lectures, and special prayers for the country.
