From All Africa-
A head of 2011 general elections, Nigerians have been called upon to be prayerful, draw nearer to God and seek His face for the success of the elections.
Bishop of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Ikereku, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Rt. Reverend Dapo Asaju made the call on Sunday during the first anniversary thanksgiving of the burial of the mother of the wife of Osun state governor, Mrs. Omolola Oyinlola, late Madam Juliana Modupeolu Majekodunmi.
A statement by the media assistant to the wife of the governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Alege quoted the clergyman as saying that Nigerians need to be prayerful for peace to continue to reign in the country especially as the country prepares for the 2011 general election.
Bishop Asaju further observed that since it was the civic responsibility of every eligible Nigerian to participate actively in the electoral process all must ensure that they pray fervently for the success of the process.
According to him, "I enjoin servants of God and pious people to join politics because we are the ambassadors of God who must join hands with politicians to move this country forward."
