The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, has said that prayer was the surest weapon Nigeria could use to overcome its numerous developmental challenges.
Obiano spoke at a Special Prayer Rally organised by the Anglican Communion in Anambra State at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka on Saturday.
He observed that the challenges of nationhood are not overcome with practical solutions alone pointing out that prayers can change the destiny of any nation for the better.
Governor Obiano urged the Anglicans to hold Nigeria up to God in prayer as that was one of the surest ways of attracting God’s grace and blessings to the country.
“I urge you to pray for Nigeria. Pray for Anambra State. Pray for our people. That is the message I came here to deliver to them,” the governor charged.
He thanked the Anglican Communion in the state for staging the Prayer Rally which he observed has been staged for the second time in two years and pledged to donate a 32-seater bus each to the Boys and Girls Brigade to whom he is also a patron.
He described the Rally as a great innovation and urged the church not to relent in its efforts to pray Nigeria to greatness.
In their own remarks, the Archbishop of the Province on the Niger and Bishop of Aguata Diocese Most Rev Christian Efobi thanked the governor for lending enormous support to the efforts to hold the Rally.
He commended his fatherly role to all the religious groups in the state and prayed that the Almighty God would continue to guide his actions to the benefit of Ndi Anambra.
Most Rev. Efobi equally extolled the leadership qualities of the governor and his good works in the state, and pledged the support and prayers of the church to his administration to ensure that God’s purpose for his life was fully fulfilled.
