President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday urged the church to support his transformation agenda.

He also asked for the backing of Nigerians in his plan to remove fuel subsidy.

The President who spoke yesterday through the Minister of Labour and Productivity,Mr.Emeka Nwogwu at this year’s Holy Ghost Congress at the Redeemed City,Ogun State, said “I am guided by biblical principles of transparency in leadership. Government is pursuing the agenda of regaining government trust in the eyes of the people through his security agenda to foster unity and peace".

Jonathan pleaded with the General Overseer GO of the Redeemed Christain Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye to pray for him and thanked the church and the GO for their support during the April presidential election which he won.
He said his victory was made possible through the prayers of Adeboye.

Nwogwu said the president won't let Nigeria and Nigerians down as he takes every decision with them in mind.
"A new thing has happened in Nigeria because your brother and friend, the president shares your vision,”the minister said.

Adeboye gave the theme for the first 2012 Holy Ghost Service in January,: 'A New Alter to the Lord'.
He prayed for the countryand expressed optimism that Nigeria would be better and “experience a new dawn.”
A total of 30 babies: 15 boys and 15 girls were born during the one week convention.

Dignitaries at the service included the wives of the Ogun State governor, Mrs Olufunso Amosun;that of Lagos State, Dame Abimbola Fashola; and deputy governor of Lagos State,Mrs Adejoke Adefulire-Orelope, who implored religious leaders to keep praying for leaders.
Also present were delegates from different parts of the world.

This is one of the people the MOG should be slapping anytime they talk fearfully.

Oh God!
Why do you keep reminding me that sointin like this GEJ of a thingy is still alive?

Politicians and Pastors; one and the same.

Why does this guy keep moving around begging for prayers here and there The only place he has not reportedly gone to is a Babalawo office.

GEJ is not worth a sweat, who will pray fro those of us that went out risking all to vote him because then we thought he was worth the trouble, Pls enuff of GEJ already

I respect the man of God in the person of pastor E.A. Adeboye so much but i believe something is missing in him , and the thing is the inability of him to tell politician in power the truth that is why these vissionless and corrupt politicians keeps going to him for prayers why are they not going to pastor Bakare 4 prayers, fear of the uknown will never allow them do that, GOD HAV MERCY

GEJ& Adeboye;two very rich& powerful dudes,something tells me d combination is not right

in his(jonathan) inauguration, witches and wizards association of nigeria sent their representatives and today he wants man of God to pray for him so that God will make nigerians to accept his hardship programmed govt. what a confused man. you must choose between men of God and witches and wizards. no matter who you choose, nigerians are ready to use the streets might your undemocratic democratic govt temper fuel subsidy. i know u are the most powerful nigerian at the moment but do not forget that you are very far from what saddam and gaddafi had but when their time came, na inside hole the run go.
gbagbo of ivory coast will also teach u good lessons if you have time to learn.
