Igwe, who took his Bible readings from  Psalms 91:1-2 and Psalms 60:9-12, said that no one would be able to achieve greatness without being in a good relationship with God.

Rev. Chuks Alozie, the convener and Abia Coordinator of Nigeria Prays, said the programme became necessary because Nigeria was passing through a trying moment.

He said, “As a prayer group, ours is to offer sacrifice of prayer for God to solve the myriads of challenges and problems we are having as a nation.

“We are praying for the unity, progress, prosperity of Nigeria. We want Nigeria to progress as one entity, not a dismembered nation.”

Also, Rev. Ben Nwankwo, Chairman of PFN, said the prayer was necessary because “if we as men at the altar keet quiet, the evil going on in the land might sweep away the whole land and its people.

“There is need to gather as a people to cry to God for mercy. That is what we have done and we believe He has heard our cry,” Nwankwo said.
