ABUJA — Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has urged Nigerian Christians not to relent in praying for the peace, unity and progress of the country.

Gowon made the appeal on Sunday during the ongoing Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) in Abuja.

The elder statesman, who has devoted much of his post-retirement life to peacebuilding and intercessory prayer for the nation, encouraged believers to remain steadfast in seeking God’s intervention for Nigeria.

“Don’t stop praying for the country,” he said.
