Preparations are on top gear for a prayer summit in Enugu for all the five Igbo States of Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi both in Nigeria and Diaspora to seek God’s intervention for the Igbo nation to regain its rightful position in the Nigerian project.

The founder, Center for Psychic and Healing Administration (CPHA) of Nigeria, Ifeanyichukwu Ilonzo disclosed this in Awka, Anambra State, yesterday, some hours after the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja discharged and acquitted the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Ilonzo, popularly known as “Anyafulugo” in Igboland said the prayer summit had become necessary for total repositioning of the Igbo to realize their potential as well as cleansing the land soiled with blood and moral decadence including killings.

She said three weeks before Appeal Court judgment on Kanu, she told a set of interviewers that there would be surprises about Kanu’s detention which she noted the discharge and acquittal confirmed.

She insisted that the Igbo needed to engage in fervent prayers for God’s intervention in Igbo affairs and efforts this year to come to fruition, a year she called number six for the Igbo nation.

Ilonze noted that the Igbo will only actualize the leadership position craved for through prayers. She reminded the Igbo that they were not in charge of the police, army, Directorate of State Service (DSS), Customs or other security agencies they could boast of which she noted had made it imperative for them to talk to God in prayers.

She expressed optimism that the proposed general prayer would remove every obstacle that could hinder the Igbo from getting back to their rightful position.

The prayer summit tagged “Ihu Igbo Ohuru” scheduled to take place on October 22 at Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium, Enugu, according to the founder of the CPHA for Igbo rejuvenation would attract many distinguished Igbo personalities including the former Governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezife.

Ilonze explained that those living abroad could observe the 2-day prayer summit wherever they were and should use scent leaf to sanctify themselves before commencing the exercise. She said that any Igbo man or woman who could not make it to the Enugu stadium could observe it wherever the person was.

“We have the passion to cleanse Igbo land. We are desirous to visit members of the State Assemblies; State Government officials; town unions; traditional rulers and youth associations.

“Our land has been desecrated and fallen short of God’s Glory. We are His people the sheep of His flock, we must go back to Him to ask for forgiveness and restoration,” the prayer group had announced. (Daily Independent)
