Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, GCFR, (retd.) will on Sunday, August 24, storm Osun state for the Southwest edition of ‘Nigeria Prays’.
Gowon, who is the convener of ‘Nigeria Prays’ alongside the governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who is the chief host, and other dignitaries, will hold the one-day national prayer rally in Osogbo, the state capital.
The theme of this year’s programme is ‘Let There Be Light,’ Genesis 1:3.
The event will hold at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Breakthrough Cathedral Region 43 Headquarters, Olosan, Ogo-Oluwa Area, Osogbo.
According to a statement by the Osun State Coordinator, Nigeria Prays, Rev. Mike Adebomi, during the programme, prayers would be offered for the leadership of the country.
He urged residents and people from neighboring states to join in the historic event for personal and national prayer.
Established in 1996 by General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd), Nigeria Prays was born out of the need to put an end to the various problems plaguing Nigeria through prayer and a strong burden to lead a group that would be interceding for Nigeria.
