2019 Elections: Umahi Urges Pilgrims To Pray For Nigeria
By Joyce Onuora, Abakaliki
Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi has urged pilgrims from the state to Saudi Arabia for this year’s hajj to
show great deal of integrity and moral values while in the Holy land
and also pray fervently for the nation as the 2019 General Elections approaches.

Umahi tasked the pilgrims to be fervent in praying for the nation
while in the Holy Land, maintaining that the country at this time
required those who would doggedly stand in the gap to avert the
seemingly divine judgement passed against Nigeria.
“This is very, very important, It is in the situation we find
ourselves in Nigeria that Esther said I will go and if I perish, I
perish. We are seeking for men and women that would stand in the gap
for this nation.
“It is as if judgment has come upon our nation, that is why I feel
excited that in a time like this, you are going to the Holy Land.
“It is very important that you say like Esther if I perish, I perish;
that in the presence of God that you get lost and begin to talk to God
about this nation.
“There is judgment upon the nation.
“There is so much suffering, so much oppression, so much hatred, so
much division, so much segregation and suspicion, even among leaders
“So we must know that our nation is troubled and I feel very bad when
people talk like gods.
Umahi further urged the pilgrims to always pray for the state.
“pray for our election, pray for our finances…that the good
Lord would continue to bind Ebonyi State as one united family.”
