The Vice President, Christian Association of Nigeria Rev. Stephen Panya, on Friday urged national leaders to embrace righteousness in governance, referencing the book of Proverbs which says, “Righteousness exalts a nation.”
Panya called for national unity, urging the nation’s leaders to embrace righteousness in governance.
The cleric made this call in Abuja at the National Day of Prayer 2025, organised by the CAN with the theme: “Dependable God.”
The event brought together religious leaders and citizens to reflect on the nation’s challenges and seek divine intervention. It underscored the role of faith in uniting citizens across denominations to pray for solutions to insecurity, economic uncertainties, and other challenges facing the nation.
Panya emphasised the importance of collective prayer for national progress and divine intervention.
Speaking to journalists in an interview, he said that such gatherings are crucial for fostering unity and addressing pressing national challenges.
The cleric expressed confidence in the power of prayer, citing biblical promises that encourage seeking God’s guidance.
He said, “We believe God has heard our prayers, and in the coming days, we trust to see manifestations of peace, progress, and prosperity in Nigeria, spiritually, socially, and economically.”
