According to them, although certain wicked agents of destabilisation and habitual enemies of peace and progress masquerading as ethnic and religious bigots would likely choose to foment crisis, the overpowering power of God “shall supernaturally contain and neutralise their excesses to their own chagrin.”
The leader of the IECF and former governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, said nobody should underestimate the efficacy of prayers in the forthcoming elections.
The spiritual exercise had as its theme, “Emergence of a new Nigeria through effectual intercession.’
“In absolute obedience to a privileged instruction/leading of the spirit divine following the revelation referred to above, the Igbo Elders Consultative Forum hereby climaxes the long held intercession,” Ezeife said.
Also, Evangelist Iwuchukwu Ezenwafor of the Ark Bearer of New Nigeria, said part of the solemn declarations was that as the Giant of Africa by destiny, Nigeria is not a mere coincidence but a standard bearer, pacesetter, trail blazer and a typical example of what an ideal developing country should be even in the prevailing democratic and electioneering process.
Other prayer points listed by him included, “That as an entity housing a significant population of true worshippers of the Lord God Almighty, the grace, mercy, compassion and power of the Almighty will ever be present to overshadow the entire process of the forthcoming general election followed by a smooth transition to new administrations at all levels.
“That though certain notorious elements of disorder or wicked agents of destabilisation and habitual enemies of peace and progress masquerading as ethnic and religious bigots would likely choose to foment crisis, the overpowering ever presence and influence of the spirit divine shall supernaturally contain and neutralise their excesses to their own chagrin.
“That the the general election shall reflect an exceptional improvement, and thereby post an unusual credibility record that would consequently revolutionise the future electioneering processes within the country and across the African continent.
“That there shall be a distinct, clear-cut and profound electoral victory in each elective office by the best candidate approved by God Almighty and graciously acceptable to the generality of Nigerians.”
