The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), the Throne Room, has embarked on a road walk to promote peaceful, free and fair 2023 general elections.
Members of the Church took the walk from Maitama towards the Federal High Court, back to Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja, where the church holds its weekly services.
Pastor of the Parish, Tunde Benjamins-Laniyi, who led the walk on the theme: “Global Prayer Walk”, said the walk is a global event.
The Pastor prayed against insecurity challenges across the country, and urged Nigerians to examine political candidates for the 2023 general election carefully and vote wisely.
According to him, it’s time to come together and break through the challenges of insecurity and others affecting the country’s development. He said: “We are expecting that the whole church will be involved in the election process, we expect Nigerians to turn out enmass to vote and also to release their voice to heaven for God’s blessing to be available to us. Also for peace, so that we don’t have people with ulterior motives or contrary intentions to hijack the process.
“So, God has given us the power to choose, it depends on the choice of the people. At the end of the election, we will see who the people have chosen for themselves.
“We want a leader who is responsible, someone who has a burden for the nation, we want someone with sense of responsibility. We are praying for someone who is connected to the country by heart, not just a section of people or tribal and religion.”
Other pastors, alongside Pastor Benjamins-Laniyi, gave talks from the Bible, prayers and declarations were made for peace within Nigeria and prosperity in the country.
