Former Head of State and National
Chairman, Nigeria Prays, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd), reportedly has urged Nigerians
to pray harder for God’s intervention in pulling the nation out of
the current economic malaise as well as other ills affecting the
nation.
He made the call at the weekend in
Umuahia during the plenary of the 56th annual diocesan synod of the
Methodist Church Nigeria, Diocese of Umuahia, noting that the
efficacy of prayer in engendering divine solution to difficult
situations remained an indisputable fact.

Gowon said that Nigerians should not
lose hope, insisting that “prayer is a veritable tool for changing
situations and circumstances, no matter how difficult” hence
Nigerians should “be tenacious and firm in our faith as we follow
and serve the Lord.”
“In spite of our present difficulties
and problems, let us be faithful and grateful to God for all His
mercies and graces to us and our nation and never to doubt the
ability of our God to help in solving our problems,” he said,
adding, “Let us renew our faith and call on the Lord and hold on to
the efficacy of prayer”.
The former head of state was at the
event conferred with the Excellent Leadership Award for which he
expressed profound gratitude to the leadership of Methodist Church
Nigeria for its unflinching support to Nigeria Prays since its
inception.
