President
Goodluck Jonathan last night made a surprise visit to the monthly prayer
meeting of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at the Redemption camp.
He
was received a warm welcome by the worshippers was invited to the podium at
around 9.30pm by one of the senior pastors in the church.
The
whole church erupted in excitement when the screen showed a calm president
Jonathan exchanging pleasantries with the leaders of the church on the front
row.
President
Jonathan thanked the worshippers for their prayers and urged them to continue
to pray for Nigeria and the peaceful conduct of the election.
"I
am here to join you in prayers for our nation tonight. The whole world is
passing through a challenge of religious extremism. Our country is facing a
difficult moment but very soon, it will be over with the collaboration of our
neighbours.
"I
am not going to campaign even though the election is near because the General
Overseer will not allow his altar to be used for political campaign but I want
to tell you to shun violence and pray for peace in all the elections", he
admonished them.
