“What is happening in Nigeria is a sign that we have offended God in so many ways, therefore, we have to seek for his forgiveness.
“We believe that in whatever situation we find ourselves, prayers and fast are solutions to all mankind problems because God listens to his servants at any time,’’ Abdullahi-Mai.
He added that daily Quranic recitations and special prayers would be offered during the spiritual exercise.
The Herald recalls that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) recently completed a three-day fasting and prayer session against terrorism, kidnapping, banditry and other security challenges. CAN urged Christians across the country to observe the session.
