Seeks ‘supernatural breakthrough’ for nation

The New Seraph Evangelical Ministries has urged Nigerians to reject vote-buying, obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), and elect leaders based on competence, character and capacity, stating that the country is in need of a supernatural breakthrough.

The call was made by the founder of the church, Dr Oluwaseye Yomi-Sholoye, during a media briefing to announce the eighth edition of the Night of Divine Experience (NODE 8.0).

Yomi-Sholoye stated Nigeria is at a defining moment in its history, urging citizens to combine prayer with responsible civic engagement to address the nation’s economic, social and security challenges.

“In 2026, Nigeria needs a supernatural breakthrough. As a ministry, we will not be silent. Our faith demands action,” she said.

She, however, acknowledged the efforts of the Federal Government, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, particularly in the strengthening and expansion of divisions of the Armed Forces to improve response time and national security.

According to her, such measures have the potential to reduce banditry, violent attacks and invasion of worship centres while restoring confidence and safety across the communities.

Founder of the church, while commending the government’s efforts, stressed that nation-building requires the active participation of all Nigerians.

She urged citizens to remain law-abiding and prayerful, resist every form of inducement to sell their votes, and support candidates based on competence, character and capacity.

Besides, she charged political aspirants to embrace issue-based campaigns anchored on accountability and service rather than empty promises.

Meanwhile, the three-day programme, themed “Supernatural Breakthrough,” is scheduled to be held from August 12 to 14, 2026, at the New Seraph Prayer City.
