Apostle Winifred Iwunze of Ziongate Bible church Lagos, a pilgrim from Nigeria said the intercession was part of the issues earmarked for the pilgrimage.
According to her, the prayers became necessary considering the various challenges facing the country.
She emphasized the needs for collective prayers and unity of purpose to not only overcome its present problems, but continue to occupy the enviable position of the giant of Africa.
He noted that this is the time every Nigerian devoid of religious, ethnic and political inclinations should come together and confront the myriad of problems facing the country, stressing that, with genuine love and unity of purpose, Nigeria can always come out better from its current socio-economic woes.
“What should be uppermost in our minds is the unity of Nigeria, since we don’t have any other country to call our own”.
Rev. Fr. Barnabas Izegede of Isele-Uku dioses, Delta State, also a pilgrim from Nigeria said fervent prayers for God’s intervention will pave way for the restoration of vibrant economy in the country.
He said seeking divine intervention will enable the country to overcome the present economic challenges.
