Wife of Lagos State governor, Dr. Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has expressed appreciation to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), other religious leaders and the entire Christian community for their roles in ensuring peaceful coexistence and the development of the state.
The governor’s wife stated this at the fifth edition of Lagos Praise, an annual interdenominational Christian concert organised by her Office, themed “Freedom Through Praise”, held at the LTV Blue Roof in Lagos.
According to her, the forum provided a powerful atmosphere of thanksgiving, heartfelt worship, and passionate praise, emphasizing that praise remains a divine catalyst for attracting the presence of God.
She noted that,” Psalm 22:3 declares that God inhabits the praises of His people. With this assurance, we are confident that God is with us, and He will continue to do wonders in our lives, both individually and collectively as a state.”
Mrs Sanwo-Olu further explained that the theme for this year, drawn from Acts 16:25-26, reflects the miraculous deliverance of Paul and Silas from prison – a clear demonstration of the power of prayer and praise to bring about divine intervention.
“As the First Family of Lagos State, we deeply value gatherings such as this. At the beginning of this administration, we introduced the Monthly Praise and Worship Programme, held every last Thursday in partnership with CAN, Lagos Chapter. This has been consistently hosted at Lagos House, Marina and Ikeja, as a symbol of our trust in God for daily guidance and breakthroughs,” she added.
Dr. Sanwo-Olu also extended her gratitude to all residents of the state for their prayers and overwhelming support for the administration, affirming that Lagos State and Nigeria will continue to enjoy God’s peace that surpasses all understanding.
