In a display of faith and political solidarity, constituents across Niger State on Saturday organised special prayer sessions for Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, popularly known as Sani Musa 313, Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the countdown to party primaries and general elections gathers momentum.
The high-profile intercessory programme was hosted by the United Niger Christian Forum in Niger State under the leadership of its President, Rev. Joshua Adams.
Christians from different denominations converged in Minna to seek divine intervention, protection, and victory for the three leaders whom they described as divinely positioned agents of transformation.
Rev. Joshua Adams, while addressing the gathering, delivered a passionate message that spanned several key areas of leadership, governance, and national development.
He began by highlighting the spiritual foundation required for effective leadership in Nigeria.
“Today, we have come together not just as Christians but as concerned citizens who understand that no meaningful progress can be achieved without the hand of God upon our leaders,” Rev. Adams said.
“We stand here to commit Senator Sani Musa 313, Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu into the mighty hands of the Almighty for wisdom, strength, and victory in all their endeavours.”
The cleric praised Senator Sani Musa 313 for his outstanding representation of the Niger East Senatorial District. He noted the senator’s consistent advocacy for youth empowerment, education, and infrastructural development in the zone.
“Senator Sani Musa 313 has been a tireless champion for our people,” Rev. Adams continued. “Through his various intervention programmes in skills acquisition, scholarship awards, and rural infrastructure, he has touched thousands of lives.
“We pray that God will crown his efforts with greater success and return him with landslide victory to continue his good works.”
Turning to Governor Bago, Rev. Adams extolled the governor’s agricultural revolution and urban renewal efforts that have begun to change the face of Niger State.
“Under Governor Bago’s leadership, Niger State is witnessing a new dawn in agriculture and food security,” he stated.
“His administration’s focus on irrigation farming, mechanisation, and support for farmers has positioned the state as a potential food basket for the nation. We are praying for divine enablement so he can complete his vision of a prosperous and secure Niger State.”
Rev. Adams further emphasised the governor’s commitment to infrastructure, education, and healthcare delivery across the three senatorial zones.
“The massive road constructions, school renovations, and hospital upgrades under this administration are testimonies that God is using Governor Bago for a purpose,” Adams added.
“We reject every satanic plan against his government and declare divine protection and success in the forthcoming elections.”
On President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Forum President spoke extensively about the Renewed Hope Agenda and the bold reforms being implemented despite national challenges.
“President Tinubu has shown rare courage in taking difficult but necessary decisions to reposition Nigeria’s economy,” Rev. Adams declared.
“His administration’s focus on security, economic diversification, and infrastructure development across all regions gives us hope for a better Nigeria. We are interceding for sustained wisdom and strength for him to deliver on his promises.
“We believe that leadership is a divine assignment. As we pray for these three leaders, we also pray for peaceful primaries across all political parties.
“Let there be no violence, no rigging, and no manipulation. Let the will of God and the will of the people prevail.”
The reverend gentleman stressed the Forum’s non-partisan stance while affirming their support for performance-driven leadership.
“Our prayer is not about party affiliation but about good governance and service to humanity,” Rev. Adams explained.
“Where leaders perform, the people must support them through prayers and at the polls. Senator Sani Musa 313, Governor Bago, and President Tinubu have shown capacity, and we stand with them.”
He concluded his address by calling for sustained prayers beyond the prayer session.
“We shall not relent in interceding for these leaders until victory is fully delivered,” Rev. Adams assured. “Niger State and Nigeria shall rise again through the leadership of these men. The best is yet to come for our dear state and country.”
Rev. Joshua Adams sealed the powerful prayer session with a quotation from the Holy Scriptures: “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
This biblical charge, he said, remains the foundation for the Forum’s continued intercession for the success, protection, and re-election of Senator 313, Governor Bago, and President Tinubu.
The United Niger Christian Forum pledged to organise similar prayer programmes across local government areas in the state in the coming weeks to sustain the spiritual cover for the leaders and the democratic process.
