The Christian Association of Nigeria has raised the alarm that elections may not hold at all in the country if prayers are not offered fervently by Nigerians.
The President of CAN, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, said this on Sunday during a service at the Trinity Baptist Church, Ajobo, Ibadan, Oyo State, a day after the postponement of the Presidential and National Assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, had in the wee hours of Saturday announced the postponement of the elections by one week.
Ayokunle, however, said going by what he could see in the spirit realm, only fervent prayers will bring about the elections holding.
He said at the service in Ibadan: “About what is happening in the country, I want you to pray very well this week.
“If it’s about the things we see in the spirit, it is not sure that elections will hold at all.
“We won’t want elections to hold like they didn’t hold.
“If that should happen, it would cause trouble or even lead to war.
“That is why we have asked you to pray this week.
“This is a week for prayers.
“Pray that bad people will not be involved in Nigeria’s affairs.
“About the elections, we will pray that they will not result in war or bring agony.
“People who think they are powerful and want to cause problems for us, God Himself will give them problems and bind them.”
