Ascampaigns for 2023 general elections commence nationwide, Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, have called on Nigerians to work and pray for peace in the country.
They made the appeal yesterday at the RCCG’s October thanksgiving service and special prayer session for state governors and deputy governors tagged: “Perfect Peace in the Land”, which was held at the church corporate headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu urged Nigerians, including Lagosians to continue to pray for leaders in Nigeria and for peace to reign in the land with an assurance to believe that greater things are ahead.
The governor, who attended the service with his wife, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and other dignitaries, who included the representatives of Governors Gboyega Oyetola (Osun) and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), said the Greater Lagos agenda of his administration, which had brought about infrastructural development across the state, was on course and more of it would be delivered.
He said, “This service taking place on a Sunday after the Independence Day anniversary is very important. And I think our GO (Pastor Adeboye) has said it all. We need perfect peace in our country but for us to have that perfect peace; we also need to have peace from individuals. It is the citizens that make the country. It is not just about a metaphorical country; it is the people on the ground that truly makes a country.
“We need to have that perfect peace in how we live our lives mentally, physically, financially, morally and all of it, and it is only when that happens that it can affect the country. He (Pastor Adeboye) has also encouraged all of us that we need to continually pray for our leaders. People are made up of the kind of leaders they have. So, it is really a partnership by ensuring that the citizens play their roles and leaders also play their roles.
