The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, on Wednesday
rounded up its 3-day fasting and prayers for a positive change in the nation,
saying it’s a shameful thing that Nigeria is now a shadow of its former self.
CAN President, Rev. Samson Ayokunle said that a divine
intervention was needed in order to tackle insecurity, economic hardships and
mutual distrusts which now rock the nation.
Speaking to reporters after the nationwide prayer for the
nation in Abuja, Rev. Ayokunle, also said the Nigerian churches were united in
its quest for what is in the best interest of the nation.
He said, “When anything is beyond you, you take it to God.
He has enjoined us to pray for those in government and for the nation.
“What we see today is not the Nigeria we knew. The Nigeria
of the past was a nation of peace and prosperity. Our country is now becoming a
deserted land; a place of killings and bloodshed.
“Those who knew the past and now see the present are
ashamed. Nigerians are embarrassed abroad because of Boko Haram and killer
herdsmen.
“We want to see a change and we are taking it to God. The
church is united, together, and wants the best for our nation.”
