 As people all over the world celebrate the new year, some clergymen in Benio State have called for more prayers towards the forthcoming general elections. The clergymen spoke in an interview with P.TV News Correspondent shortly after the new year thanksgiving service. The State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Reverend Ampang Leva, urged the people to put their hopes in God. As little of the church in Benio State and the Nigerian life, I want to encourage all Christians to first of all have their hope in God for the year 2023. Because when you put your hopes in God, God will make you realize what you are hoping for. Even though some people have fears that the religion may not go out, that there are tax crashes, we continue to malign the religion in Nigeria. I am hopeful that as we put our trust and our hope in God, we will have a very, very peaceful and successful religion in Nigeria. Our leaders need our prayers so that God will help them to lead us to the right place. There are pockets of insecurities in this nation, in Napa, Banditri, here and there. It is only prayers that can solve some of the problems. So I call on everybody to pray for this nation. This is the only country we have and Nigeria needs our prayers to solve some of the challenging situations that we have in this nation. If a people has ever labored Nigerians as praying people, this is a time that we will see the result of prayer in Nigeria as a whole. Because we have entered a season. Now that the longer wait 2023 is here, we have entered a season when God wants to prove himself strong in the life of his people and in the life of our nation and state. God is divinely going to bring about the lifting of so many and the dethronement of so many. What is going to happen in this season as we approach the general election, you will see God frustrating the efforts of the wicked and those who have reached this country, reached a state of a common wet.
