The National Inter-Faith and Religious Organizations for Peace (NIFROP), on Monday, January 25, ended its 21-days intercessory prayer and fasting for Nigeria and the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. 

The group in a statement signed by Sheik Abubakar Idris, and seen by Legit.ng said the three-week-long spiritual intervention ended with hundreds of respected Christain and Muslim clerics in attendance.

Idris said during the prayer sessions Nigerians from all walks of life showed that religion and ethnicity are tools used to divide the country.

His words:

"What is most important in this gathering is the fact that the Unity Church and the Unity Masjid has proven to be that ground for intercession for Nigeria in this critical point of our existence occasioned by the activities of Satan and its agents."

Stating that there is no alternative to peace in the country, Idris said all the agents of darkness who are not happy with the gains recorded by the present administration will meet their doom.

Idris said:

"As we prayed and fasted, we were also aware of the recent happenings in the country with the potentials of threatening peace and stability in the country. Some agents of darkness are not happy with the gains recorded in critical sectors of the economy under President Muhammadu Buhari. As such, they have been fanning the embers of war."

He said there is ultimate hope that the peace prayed for shall be permanent in Nigeria and that the country will witness the reward for the evil agents in less than no time.
