The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared November 4 as National Day of Prayers to pray for divine intervention in the affairs of the country.
CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, disclosed this in a recent statement issued by the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee of the National Prayer Day, Archbishop John Praise Daniel, in Abuja. He said the prayers would hold at the National Christian Centre in Abuja.
He added that all the presidential candidates for the forthcoming general elections had been invited to the prayer meeting.
The statement read: “The national leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has declared Friday, November 4, 2022, as National Day of Prayers to seek divine intervention in the affairs of the country.
“It is also going to be a day to implore God’s help in preventing violence, manipulation, intimidation of voters and other electoral crimes in the forthcoming elections.
“We consider this imperative in view of the fact that our nation is passing through very challenging times at the moment, despite its abundant natural, human, and material resources.
“Nigeria is a vibrant and virile land that is full of colour, wealth and all that it would take to be one of the greatest nations on earth. Sadly, the country has not yet reached where it should be at the moment due to some inherent problems.
“Consequently, all Christian groups or organizations, stakeholders and Christian politicians, especially those vying for offices, are invited to participate in the programme.
“All bloc chairmen, zonal chairmen, states and local chairmen, and all church leaders, are to mobilise their members nationwide for the programme.
“Participants are to assemble at the National Christian Centre in Abuja for the prayer retreat by 10:00 a.m. prompt on Friday this week.
“We urge all and sundry to join the solemn assembly in order to usher the country into a new era of peace, unity, safety and all-round prosperity.”
