Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has urged Christians to pray for the election of a leader who will use tax dollars for the common good.
This was spoken by Obi at the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria’s (17th) Biennial Conference, which was held in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State.
He remarked that Nigeria has experienced a lot and added that the Church’s prayers have kept the nation united.
He said: “I want to ask for your prayers for Nigeria as we gather here; I will ask for prayer points.
“My prayer points are as we go for election, may God Almighty ensure that Nigeria elects somebody with character, somebody who is competent, somebody who will respect our religious rights.
“May God continue to touch politicians so that we use public money for public good.
“I do not think without prayers Nigeria will be where it is today, Nigeria has gone through what no country has ever gone through and is still standing, and only your prayers can save us.
“Please do remember your country in your prayers,” he said.
