President
Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians to pray for the peaceful conduct of the
general elections.
He said this
when he visited the monthly Holy Ghost Service of the Redeemed Christian Church
of God at the Redemption Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.
Stating that
he did not intend to campaign in the church service, he said, “Firstly, let me
sincerely thank all of you for the good work you have been doing for our
country. I have attended services in some of the branches of this church
before.
“I’m not here
to campaign because you know very well that Daddy G.O. will not allow his altar
to be used for campaign.
“I am here to
thank you for your prayers for this country. Everyone passes through
challenges. The whole world is passing through the challenge of extremism.
Unfortunately, we are having our share of the challenge.
“But we are
working harder and with our collaboration with other neighbouring countries, we
will soon smile as a country.
“As we are
going for the general elections, I request you to devote time to pray for peace
in our land. Pray for the elections. The Almighty God knows the best for the
country and His Will will come to pass. With your prayers, we will conquer.”
Adeboye led
the congregation to pray for the President and the country.
“There will
be peace before, during and after the elections. The perfect will of God for
this country will come to pass,” he said
