Celebrated Reverend and the General Overseer of Church of Evangelism, Awoyaya, Ajah,Lagos, Reverend Edith Okubanjo has returned from her much anticipated two-week nationwide prayer tour of Nigeria. The two week tour which saw the respected popular seer, visiting the 36 states of federation including the Federal Capital Territory, was highly welcomed in major states of the federation for her selfless service towards betterment of the nation. The fearless Reverend who was not deterred with the on-going Boko Haram crisis in the Northern Eastern part of the country, in her magnanimity, also stormed the hot spot of Yobe , Borno States and Mayoka IDP camp in Yola, the Adamawa State capital to pray with the special displaced persons and gave her widow's mite to the victims of the dreaded sect. The noble move according Okubanjo was a divine call from God to declare nationwide prayers and deep national reflection as a foundation for national peace, unity and sustainable development. The two week prayer commenced on Sunday, February 28, 2016 and ended on March 10, 2016. Participants were seen offered prayers for Nigeria in expectation to reflect on the present challenges as well as the new opportunities and challenges ahead. Okubanjo while addressing the concerned Nigerians in the Niger Delta, oil rich region of the country said, let us be determined to awaken our nation and our people to the critical need to Forgive, Love and Unite. Join us in a nationwide prayer tour and reflection to prepare Nigerians and Nigeria. Surely, governments will come and go, but we as a people shall remain and our nation should remain! Let us all pray in our families, schools, workplaces and worship places and wherever we gather as a community. Let us commit to pray to God for peace, unity and development of our nation and let us reflect on our past, our present situation and our common future.
