President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday, on the occasion of Good Friday, led his family and other Christians in a prayer session seeking an end to Boko Haram’s reign of terror in parts of the country.
They also prayed for peace across the country.
The service held at the Presidential Villa chapel was anchored by the Reverend Obioma Onwuzurumba.
Intercessory prayers were said for Nigeria and Nigerians, especially as the country is going through trials following incessant attacks by terrorists.
The church prayed that the bomb blasts in the land would come to an end and that the transformation agenda would not be derailed.
Other worshippers were the President’s mother, Eunice, and others.
The nine lessons were shared out as usual and read by key members of the congregation who also took time out to share exaltations from the scriptures and lessons.
The lessons and preaching were interspersed with melodious traditional songs as well as praise and worship
Reverend Onwuzurumba described the death of Jesus as unique and said it was designed to reconcile man with God and called on all the Christian faithful to continue to reflect on the things they heard after leaving the chapel to enjoy the Easter holiday.
God is thé ultimate we all agree with you Mr. President. But we need you to take plausible decisions, promptly, & courageously. We feel you not yet doing all you can. If you have run out of alternatives, then invite foreign aides as we often go to rescue others. Invite the ECOWAS, AU or even UN. Failure to do something to control this situation & also failing to call for help will be seen as gross incompetence. SOS.
