Former Governor of Anambra State and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reiterated the centrality of prayer in the lives of individuals and nations, describing it as “the bridge connecting human beings with their creator.” He stressed that the grace and mercy sought from God would not be possible without prayer.
Obi made the remarks in a statement shared on his verified X handle after attending the 15th Anniversary Conference of When Women Pray in Abuja on Friday.
“Today, I had the honour of attending the 15th Anniversary Conference of When Women Pray in Abuja. These outstanding women have, over the years, become a symbol of faith, resilience, and blessings, showing the world the unwavering strength of women,” he wrote.
Highlighting the indispensable role of women in nation-building, Obi noted that women remain the backbone of families and society — nurturing, praying, building, and holding the country together through challenging times.
“As I joined them in thanksgiving and reflection today, I was reminded of the critical role women continue to play in shaping a better future. Their prayers, strength and sacrifices inspire us to keep striving for a Nigeria built on peace, unity, and justice,” Obi stated.
He further celebrated the group for 15 years of spiritual impact, urging Nigerians to support women in all spheres of life. “I celebrate When Women Pray for 15 years of blessing lives, and I encourage all of us to keep supporting our women, because when women rise, a nation is lifted,” he concluded.
