He emphasised the importance of collective action in overcoming the country’s multifaceted challenges, highlighting that unity is crucial for finding lasting solutions.
“By the end of this prayer session, we believe that with God’s wisdom, our leaders and citizens will find the strength to confront our common enemies,” Afolorunikan stated.
The prayer sessions will take place at significant venues: Muslims will gather at the National Mosque in Abuja for seven days, during which 313 individuals will recite the Qur’an, culminating in the recitation of the Holy text 2,191 times for national stability.
Meanwhile, Christians will meet at the National Ecumenical Centre for a week of intense prayer, with prayer warriors from various denominations focusing their efforts on the nation’s adversities.
Afolorunikan noted that extensive outreach had been conducted, including meetings with leaders from the National Mosque, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and traditional leaders such as the Sultan of Sokoto.

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President Bola Tinubu, has come out in defence of her husband, saying he shouldn’t be blamed for Nigeria’s current economic hardship.
Recall that the economic woes began after the removal of fuel subsidies, which skyrocketed petrol prices from N198 to N1,030.
