Saraki, Ahmed urge church leaders to keep praying for Nigeria

SENATE President, Dr Bukola Saraki, and Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State have appealed to churches and their leadership to keep praying for peace and sustainable development for the country.

Speaking at the second session of the 15th synod of Anglican Diocese of Kwara State, at St. Barnabas Cathedral, Ilorin, on Friday, Saraki said Nigerians had a role to play in nation building and good governance.

“As a spiritual body, I will further urge you not to relent in your prayers and intercession for our nation as we all do not have any other place to call our own. The National Assembly, the Senate in particular, seek your support and the need to work together as our doors are opened for your advice and consultation. It is high time we embraced our unity in diversity, respect for one another, and eschew tenets that will divide us,” Saraki said.

He was represented by his deputy Chief of Staff, Honourable Gbenga Makanjuola.

Also speaking, Governor Ahmed, said “with divine prayers, our collective will and determination, we shall definitely overcome them and make our country great.”

In his charge at the synod, themed, Finishing Strong, Bishop of the Diocese of Kwara, Most Reverend Dr Olusegun Adeyemi, called on the Federal Government to find amicable and long-lasting solutions to, what he referred to as unnecessary bloodletting and confrontation in Benue State.
