Former Nigerian Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), has appealed to Nigerian Christians not to cease praying for the nation's peace, unity, and progress. Gowon, who has dedicated much of his post-retirement life to peacebuilding and intercessory prayer, encouraged believers to remain steadfast in seeking God's intervention for Nigeria.
