CHURCHES COMMIT TO NATIONAL POLLS AS MEMBERS ARE URGED TO COLLECT THEIR PVC's

   
      Churches in Lagos State yesterday dedicated time to seek the face of God concerning next Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections.
They prayed for peaceful and non-violent exercise, as the pastors cautioned members on how to behave during and after the elections.
Many of the services monitored involved special prayer sessions for peace to reign before, during and after the elections.
       At Global Harvest Church, Maryland, Reverend Victor Adeyemi led members to pray for peaceful polls and the enthronement of the will of God over Nigeria. The 10th year anniversary service witnessed special prayer sessions in the two services for the will of God to reign over the elections.
     At Daystar Christian Centre, Oregun, Pastor Sam Adeyemi urged members of the church to pray for “those who will fulfill God’s agenda to be elected .” Pastor Adeyemi told his 20,000-strong congregation to pray against violence, bloodshed and for the will of God over the country.
     At St. Gerald Catholic Church Soluyi, Gbagada, the cleric urged the faithful to vote according to their conscience. He warned members against getting involved in arguments with anyone at the polling station and also to desist from any form of campaign for any candidate or political party on the day of the election.

       At many of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) branches in Lagos, prayers were said for the elections. One of the pastors, who declined to be named, urged the members to be conversant with the electoral laws before, during and after the elections, while he also urged them to get their PVCs.
