Cleric Ilechukwu Calls for Unity and Civic Duty in Nigeria

Dr Cosmas Ilechukwu, the General Overseer of Charismatic Renewal Church Ministries and Deputy President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, called on Nigerians to unite with the government in nation-building during a Special Prayer Service for Nigeria held in Abuja. He emphasized the importance of civic engagement, urging citizens to exercise their voting rights, pay taxes, and uphold law and order, especially with the 2027 elections approaching.

Ilechukwu referenced the biblical figure Nehemiah, highlighting that nations are built systematically and require collective effort. He expressed concern over the rising cost of living and fuel prices, advocating for leadership that prioritizes social welfare programs and the rule of law.

He stated that citizens must also play their roles in nation-building and maintain a fear of God. Ilechukwu expressed hope for a reduction in fuel prices, aiming for N500 per litre by the same time next year, and stressed the need for visible impacts from government actions.
