The Edo State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called for a one-day fasting and prayer for a peaceful conduct of the September 19 governorship election in the state.
The association stated that God’s divine intervention is critical to the destiny of the state.
The call was made by Bishop Oyonnude Kure, the state Chairman of CAN, while briefing newsmen in Benin on Wednesday.
Kure announced that the fasting and prayers will be held on September 16, with the event tagged, “The Unbeatable God”.
“CAN hereby calls on all churches, all pastors, all Christians, all God-fearing and all good people of Edo for a one-day prayer and fasting for peaceful elections in Edo,” he said.
“The prayer service is very crucial and critical to the destiny of the state.
“We all in humility and reverence stand in prayers to call on God Almighty for divine intervention in His mercy and Almightiness for peace like a river in the state before, during and after elections,”
