He said it was the culture of the organisation to always pray and intercede for Nigeria.
His words:
“It is in our culture as an organisation to always pray and to intercede for this great nation. Just like I said in my speech, since 2015, God has been using us as an organisation to pray for this great country for good governance that God will choose the right people to lead this nation.
“And looking into that as we went to prayers, God expressed in our hearts to pray and to intercede. And we are praying, God also expressed in our hearts to pray for Senator Ahmed Tinubu because of his track records of how he had led.
“He is one man that has led before as the governor of Lagos state. And for his wisdom and his ability as a man. He is not a tribalistic man. And also at the same time, he is not biased in his religious affiliation.
“That prompted our hearts to pray and to call on God so that God will give us the right leader to lead this nation.”
Also speaking, one of the clerics and Lead Pastor of Fountain of Praise, Bishop Lawrence Ungene, said Tinubu has the requirements to lead Nigeria.
His words:
“We came together to pray for a person by the name Tinubu Bola Ahmed who has a trajectory record of leading this nation.
