Pastor Enenche, Peter Obi, other dignitaries pray for peace, security in Nigeria

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi and other dignitaries on Friday night joined worshippers as the Senior Pastor, Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, led the congregation in Abuja to pray for peace and security of Nigeria.

Thousands of worshippers had thronged the church for its Mid-Year Praise and Worship Night, to seek the face of God over the state of security and other challenges facing the country.

Notable among personalities at the programme were Gov. Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom State and Mrs Edith Okowa, Wife of Delta Governor and Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Also in attendance were the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara and South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Thami Mseleku amongst others.

Enenche, while praying for the nation, said that Nigeria was at war with the forces of hell and that prayer was a potent weapon to defeat them.

Reading from the book of Numbers 10:9-10, he prayed for the rebirth of the nation and a new Nigeria and prayed that the nation would not go down.

The pastor urged Christians to continue to pray for the peace of the country.

It was gathered that the over 100,000-capacity church auditorium known as ‘Glory Sanctuary’ was filled to the brim.

The church programme, which is a special praise and worship night tagged, “Judgmental Praise” drew gospel music ministers from across Nigeria and beyond.

Among the gospel artists that attended include Nathaniel Bassey, Chioma Jesus, Buchi, Frank Edward, Mercy Chinwo, Owie Abutu, Dusin Oyekan and many in-house music ministers.

Enenche and his family also ministered in songs as well as the Lord’s Trumpeter.

The major highlight of the programme was an intermittent prayer for the nation and praise and worship to God.
