Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and hundreds of Christians drawn from various parts of the country are expected to attend the annual Christian Legislators’ Fellowship (CLF) National Breakfast Prayer Meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 28, 2021.

The prayer session with the theme: Faith in Christ in time of crisis,’ will take place at 0.22 Senate Conference Room, National Assembly complex, Abuja.

The CLF President, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, who spoke during the media chat, disclosed that Bishop David Abioye of the Living Faith Chapel will be the Guest Speaker, adding that the “topic was chosen deliberately to answer the challenges of the time that we are all aware of, from different spheres of our lives, economy, political, social and many.

“As you are aware the national breakfast meeting is an annual event organised by our fellowship to pray for our country, to pray for our responsibilities as parliamentarians in churning out legislation that will benefit the larger segment of the society. The prayer breakfast did not hold last year as a result of reasons that are all known to all of us, the COVID-19 pandemic which had wreaked havoc on our economy, political and social spheres.

“The fellowship decided to hold the one of 2021 actually by zoom and we are trusting God that the event will hold by 7 o’clock through 9 am in the morning being October 28, 2021.

“By the grace of God the Vice President of the Republic will be joining us and a couple of other dignitaries including Diplomats, so you are all invited.”

While responding to questions on the leadership crisis and complacencies by Christian legislators at both national and state levels, Senator Bwacha said: “On our position towards the challenge of leadership, I want you to understand that as a fellowship, we are non-partisan, ours is intercessory.

“We are not also unaware of the fact that it’s not an easy thing to request that people should follow the Christ because we gained understanding in the parable of the 10 minas in Luke Chapter 19, where the citizens so to say, were saying we will not follow this man and we will not allow him to be our king.

“Ours is to intercede, to take the intercessory role, political questions are reserved for politicians. In this wise, we are talking of crisis that has no division, a crisis that involves all, it doesn’t segregate whether you are from which political party, increasing hike in prices of foodstuff, there’s no recognised political party, it has not recognised geopolitics, it does not recognize tribe, and by the way, it has no segregation of age.

“So ours is to pray on all issues that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will intervene and restore the glory of our nation, that we would be able to overcome all these challenges,” Senator Bwacha assured. (Nigerian Tribune)
