Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and Rev. Esther Ajayi, have urged Nigerians not to relent in their prayers for the President Bola Tinubu-led government.

The dignitaries stated this during the centenary anniversary thanksgiving of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria.

Speaking on behalf of Obasanjo, Mrs. Bola Obasanjo, wife of the former president, said, “God gave us the privilege to celebrate the centenary, and C&S 100 years will birth the salvation of Nigeria.

“Among other countries in Africa, Nigeria is the first. This is an occasion that we will never forget; God has marked Nigeria to be the best. Let us not stop praying for our president for God to lead him right.”

Oba Ogunwusi, while urging Nigerians to pray for Tinubu to succeed, said, “100 years is the grace and mercy that the C&S church received. None of us was born when the church was formed, but the impact of Baba Orimolade still speaks.

“In the next 100 years, what would be remembered of you and me? I also grew up in C&S. Let’s remember President Tinubu in our prayers. He needs our prayers to succeed. Nigeria shall be greater than this.”

Fielding questions from newsmen, Rev. Esther Ajayi urged Nigerians to walk in love and unity. She said, “Nigeria needs love more than ever, and with love and our prayers for President Bola Tinubu, we can’t miss it. With the centenary anniversary, I pray the Lord will turn the captivity of Nigeria to the best in Jesus’ name.”

Speaking on the significance of the anniversary, the supreme head of the church, Dr. Solomon Adegboyega Alao, prayed, saying, “God will meet and touch the heart of all our leaders to act right. Because if they fail, we have failed, and if they succeed, we succeed. Bad government will come to an end; banditry will also come to an end in Nigeria.”
