The Christian Association of Nigeria has asked Nigerians to pray against the breakup of the country.
The Chairman of CAN, Lagos State chapter, Apostle Alexander Bamgbola, said only prayers could help defeat the plans of the enemies for the country in 2015.
Bamgbola made the call while delivering the New Year message on behalf of the religious group, a statement said on Sunday.
The statement, signed by CAN Secretary, Israel Akindewo, stated that the call was made against the backdrop of a prediction purportedly made by the United States of America that Nigeria would disintegrate in the year 2015.
Bamgbola, while calling for prayers, said Nigerians should pray that such a prediction will not come to pass.
He also implored all Christians to remain united and more prayerful in the New Year, so as to defeat the devil, whom he described as the country’s greatest enemny
He added, “With fervent and honest prayers, 2015 shall be a better year for us in Lagos State.
“All candidates of the different political parties in the forthcoming elections should let their campaigns be issue-based, devoid of unnecessary rancour and violence.
“I counsel that they should let the word of God, His wisdom and knowledge, guide their utterances before, during and after the elections.”
The cleric also enjoined all “peace-loving people of Lagos State” to pray for peaceful and successful elections in 2015. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
