The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, NCPC, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, has called on Christians to use the lenten period to pray for leaders in the nation to uphold justice and fairness.

In his Ash Wednesday message, Bishop Adegbite emphasized the importance of putting God at the center of the fast and prayers.

He encouraged Nigerians to continue praying, regardless of their religious affiliations, highlighting the significance of interfaith harmony.

The NCPC boss specifically called for prayers for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other top government officials, for God’s wisdom and direction.
