He honored Nigeria’s founding fathers for their sacrifices towards achieving the country’s independence, and urged present and future generations to show their love for the nation by praying for its well-being. The governor stressed the significance of the Church’s continuous prayers for Nigeria as a vital investment that yields great rewards.
