President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday called
on Nigerians, particularly the clergy, to pray for
the peace and stability of the country.
Jonathan spoke through the Bayelsa State
Governor, Seriake Dickson, during the third
Bayelsa Thanksgiving Day celebration at Gabriel
Okara Cultural Centre in Yenagoa, the state
capital.
The President said, “I wish to urge all Nigerians
to pray for the peace, unity and stability of the
country. This is the time to reunite our country
through prayers. Now that the 2015 general
elections are approaching, people should shun
do or die politics. Those seeking political offices
should know that power comes from God.”
Speaking in his own capacity, Dickson said since
the state House of Assembly passed the law on
thanksgiving in the state, there had been peace
between the lawmakers and the executive arm.
He also said the State Executive Council had
also been peaceful, urging Bayelsans to
continually pray for the peace and unity of the
state to be able to achieve sustained socio-
economic development.
Dickson urged those in leadership positions to
always take service of the people seriously.
According to him, power is transient.
The governor said, “We in leadership are
instruments God has instituted to lead and
salvage the country. Service to people is service
to God. May I wish to remind all those in
power to note that their sole motivation should
be service to the people and not for personal
gains and personal aggrandisement.
“When you leave office and flash back on your
days in government, you will have cause to
smile and be happy because you have led your
people well. This is my advice to those in
government.
“For those aspiring to various political offices,
they should know that power does not come
from the East, West, North or South, but from
God.
“While it is the privilege of people to aspire to
any office, let it be done accordingly. It should
not be a do-or-die affair. Those holding office
should know they are holding it in trust for the
people.”
The General Superintendent, Deeper Life
Christian Ministry, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, who
was the Guest Speaker, stressed the need for
Nigerians to continually pray for the peace and
unity of the country.
He urged Nigerians to appreciate God’s
goodness by being selfless and offer thanks all
the time to God for His love for Nigeria.
Present at the thanksgiving service were former
Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, Chairman,
Bayelsa Council of Traditional Rulers,
Amayanabo Twon Brass, Alfred Diete-Spiff, the
state Chief Judge, Kate Abiri, the Speaker of the
state, House of Assembly, Kombowei Benson,
and a host of others.
The auditorium was filled to capacity, with
Bayelsans dancing and singing to the Glory of
God.

I thought Jonathan did all the prayers Nigeria need in Jerusalem, so he doesn’t think his prayers were answered? OK
Nigerians, keep your eyes closed in prayers, pray in the morning, pray in the afternoon, pray in the evening and pray at night before bed time, and as soon as you wake up, repeat the same cycle, and don’t worry Nigeria, just keep praying, maybe one day God will answer your prayers while your rulers continue looting your future and trashing your safety, what a country! I thought God gave Nigerians democratic voting power to do the right thing for themselves, or maybe not, just keep praying.

Yes, the masses should continue to pray and fast while the politicians continue to recycle themselves and cart away our commonwealth through all sorts of channels. Oya, its prayer time …

if he wants peace nd stability..let him vacat aso rock cum 2015..
