FG urges Christian Pilgrims to Pray for Peace in 2015 General Elections
Senate President, David Mark, has urged Christians intending to go on pilgrimage to pray for successful elections in 2015.
Mark, who was representing the president at the inauguration of the 2014 Christian Pilgrimage in Abuja, also urged the christians to pray for the safe return of the abducted Chibok girls.
He said, “Do not forget the significance of pilgrimage, we need a rebirth and this rebirth must first begin with us for true transformation.
“Let us all pray for the safe release of the Chibok girls and let us also pray for the peaceful conduct of the 2015 general elections.”
He also revealed the president hoped that the deal between the government and the Boko Haram sect would lead to lasting peace in the country and restore security in the country.
In his address to the Pilgrims, the Executive Secretary of the National Christian Pilgrims Commission, John Kennedy Okpara, said Nigerians have been commended by the government of Israel for having a good record of no absconding pilgrims in the last few years.
