We want Nigeria to progress as one entity and not a dismembered nation, Iya Aladura General/Founder, The New Seraph Church, Mrs. Oluwaseye Yomi-Sholoye, has said.
She spoke at a special prayer moment organised for the country at the just-concluded Night of Divine Experience – NODE 5.0 .
The prayer segment, which was one of the highlights for the night, was led by the Lagos State Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, Bishop S.T.V. Adegbite.
He led a congregation of over 500,000 participants to pray for the progress and peace of Nigeria alongside divine will and wisdom for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration.

The cleric prayed for wisdom for those in authority, security agencies, youths, education and other sectors.
He asked God to restore the country’s glory with His divine blessing, while declaring peace throughout the length and breadth of the nation.
The prayer, which is to uphold the power of God’s greatness in Nigeria, was put in place to seek God’s intervention in the nation’s affairs, not forgetting that the newly-sworn in ministers would need God’s divine directive in directing the affairs of the Ministries, Parastatals and Agencies.
Praising The New Seraph for always coming through with innovations and commendable programmes, Bishop Adegbite appreciated Dr. Yomi-Sholoye and prayed that the Lord would continue to sustain her and the ministry.
Iya Aladura General said The New Seraph would continue to pray for the unity, progress, and prosperity of the nation.
She said: “We want Nigeria to progress as one entity, not a dismembered nation and we know that besides hard work and effort, there is more.
“Psalm 127 says, unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
‘’This is why we saw the need to gather as a people to cry to God for mercy over the affairs of Nigeria and that is what we have just done.
“It is, however, our prayer that God Almighty crowns the efforts of this administration, so Nigeria can be great again.”
