The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to use the final lap of the Lenten season to seek divine intervention for the country.
Obi anchored his call on the fact that some Nigerians are hungry and don’t know where their next meal will come from.
He said some Nigerians have died in their struggle to get food for their families.
Posting on X, Obi wrote: “As the global Christian Lenten season enters the final lap known as the Holy Week today, I like to wish them, especially Nigerian Christians, a very edifying week.
“The week-long activities of the Holy Week, mark the deep remembrance of the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ which is the core of the Christian faith. Since February 14, 2024, when the Lenten season started, Christians have continued to fast, pray and show brotherly love to one another through almsgiving to the poor.
The activities of the Holy Week, thus, present us the opportunity to soberly reflect on the many challenges facing us individually, and those facing us collectively as a nation, an opportunity to ask for God’s divine intervention.
