Wife of the governor of Anambra State and founder of the charity organization, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative, CAFE, Dr. Ebelechukwu Obiano has lead Anambra women to a prayer session to seek peace against the rising security threats in Nigeria.
The prayers are coming after the wife of Nigeria’s President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari directed members of the Nigerian Governor’s Wives’ Forum, NGWF, to hold special prayers sessions against the mounting security issues in different parts of the country, especially in the South- east.
Correspondent Daniel Ezeigwe reports that in different tongues, yet the same intention, the women prayed, seeking heaven’s intervention in the daunting security challenges that are threatening the peaceful existence of Nigeria.
Other prayer intentions raised during the hour-long session included peaceful Anambra State, a violent-free governorship election on November sixth, blessings and God’s protection in different families.
Speaking shortly after the prayer, Dr. Mrs. Obiano said it had become very urgent to seek God’s face and intervention with regards to a plethora of issues confronting Nigeria, insisting that the time has come to embrace unity, peace and collective existence in the country.
According to her, she believed that God had answered their prayer, appealing to mothers to ensure that their families are secured by checking on the activities of their children and partners.
Earlier, the Anambra State Commissioner for Social Welfare, Children and Women Affairs, Lady Ndidi Mezue, said that by prioritizing the event, Dr. Mrs. Obiano has shown that she is a mother, who is troubled when her family is going through setbacks.
Lady Ndidi also said that the prayer was intended to heal the wounds of nation in distress, expressing confidence that it would go far in getting results.
Wife of the APGA standard bearer in the November sixth governorship election in Anambra State, Mrs. Nonye Soludo joined the governor’s wife in the prayer.
Women groups in Anambra State, from the religious, cultural, social and political were also invited for the crucial programme.
