The Awgu local government area secretariat’s pavilion in Enugu state was filled to the brim Friday when over 5, 000 Christians from the Enugu west senatorial district and beyond congregated to pray for
peace in Nigerian.

Preaching at the sermon, the archbishop of the Throne of God Mission, Dr AA Nwodika, urged Christians not to shy away from politics, but rather exhibit the teachings of Jesus Christ when they occupy political positions.

According to him, “It is not a matter of religion but doing the will of God. We are the light of the world, so we should lighten it.

Christians who find themselves in governance should know that they have a divine mandate. Man should evolve for the will of God to manifest.”

The event featured prayers for the principal officers of the National Assembly, Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, members of the Enugu State House of Assembly, and for peace in Nigeria.

Members of the clergy that preached at the event include Ven Innocent Aka, Bishop Kingsley Agu, Pastor Simon Faith, Apostle Dr Joseph Ajujungwa, Bishop Dr Gideon and Pastor Obinna Abba.

The chief whip of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Chief Matthias Ekweremadu, urged Nigerians to pray for peace in the country and avoid witch-hunting.

Pastor John Tochukwu Ogbodo, who coordinated the event, called for prayers against incessant killings of Christians and the innocent in the country. According to him, for farming activities to thrive in
Nigeria’s post-oil era, there must be peace for farmers to operate without hindrances.

The high point of the event was the presentation of the Holy Bible to Professor Ike Ekweremadu and members of the National Assembly for God’s guidance. Prof Ekweremadu was represented by the chief whip of
the Enugu State House of Assembly.
