A former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon (rtd) has called on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention on the lingering insecurity and other social problems of the country.
He made the call during a one-day National Prayer Rally in the South-West Zone held at Saint David?s Cathedral, Ijomu Akure.
The former Head of State, who emphasized belief in efficacy of prayers, advised politicians regarded of their political affliction to come together and fight the nation?s challenges.
He said the Nigerians need to work for peace and effort should be made to ensure peace and stability through respect and tolerance for one another.
In his remark, Governor Olusegun Mimiko thanked Gowon for organizing such an eventful programme to reposition Nigeria through prayers.
The Governor who said the vision was well thought out by the convener, stressed that Nigerians should be passionate about the development of the country as demonstrated by the former Head of State.
