Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
Women under the aegis of Rivers Women Unite for Sim (RWUS) have embarked on monthly prayer intersession for the government of Governor Siminalayi Fubara in Rivers State.
THISDAY observed that the women in their thousands yesterday organised the prayer outreach for the successful government and peace of the state.
The group led by Mrs. Sotonye Fulton explained that the monthly programme, which is enveloped with praise and worship, is targeted at seeking God’s mercy for the state, and praying that the glory of God should shine upon the governor and his team for a successful leadership.
The programme, which was held at the auditorium of the Ministry of Women Affairs, Port Harcourt, had the theme: ‘Tear down the walls of Jericho with praise’.
Speaking during the programme, the Deputy Governor, Prof Ngozi Odu, who, thanked the women for initiating and keeping alive the prayer section, noted that there is strength in togetherness, urging the women to keep doing what is right and support the government as it continues to fulfill its promises to the people.
The deputy governor promised her participation at the monthly prayers section.
Addressing the women also, the wife of the governor, Mrs. Valerie Fubara, emphasised the need for prayers and supplication for the state.
Mrs. Fubara also expressed happiness to be part of the prayer section, recalling how Rivers women recently had a long walk in the state capital, Port Harcourt, in support of her husband, the governor.
To the women, the wife of the governor pleaded: “Please my dear women, don’t give up. This is our government. It is your prayers that changed every negative spoken words and your continuous prayers will make the Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration succeed.”
