Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, alongside National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, is set to lead a national prayer session aimed at addressing the country’s pressing issues.

Organized with support from Christian and Muslim leaders, the initiative seeks divine guidance to overcome Nigeria’s crises.

Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, Director General of the National Prayer Forum, announced the event in Abuja under the theme, “Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs.”

He highlighted the need for unity and collective effort to find lasting solutions to the nation’s challenges.

“By the end of this prayer session, we believe that with God’s wisdom, our leaders and citizens will find the strength to confront our common enemies,” Afolorunikan stated, expressing hope that Nigeria would enter 2025 with renewed purpose and stability.

The prayer sessions will take place at significant venues: Muslims will gather at the National Mosque in Abuja for seven days, during which 313 individuals will recite the Qur’an, culminating in the recitation of the Holy text 2,191 times for national stability.

Meanwhile, Christians will meet at the National Ecumenical Centre for a week of intense prayer, with prayer warriors from various denominations focusing their efforts on the nation’s adversities.

Afolorunikan noted that extensive outreach had been conducted, including meetings with leaders from the National Mosque, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and traditional leaders such as the Sultan of Sokoto.
