A coalition of concerned residents in Ogun State has announced plans to hold a one-day, non-partisan prayer summit aimed at addressing hardship and governance challenges in the state.

The organisers, in a statement on Monday, said the event, themed “Make Ogun State Great Again,” would serve as a platform for citizens, religious leaders, and community stakeholders to seek divine intervention over what they described as pressing socio-economic and leadership concerns.

The lead convener, Kayode Olawoye, said the gathering was “a clarion call” to residents across the state to seek God’s intervention over the challenges facing the state.

Olawoye stressed that the programme was not affiliated with any political party.

Olawoye stated, “The event is a clarion call to all residents, especially religious and community leaders, to seek divine intervention for the state’s pressing challenges and future direction.

“The gathering is not affiliated with any political party and is focused entirely on the welfare and future of Ogun State.”

He noted that the prayer summit would focus on four primary goals, including seeking relief from hardship, equitable governance, spiritual renewal, and divine intervention.

On hardship, he said, “We will pray for an end to the untold suffering of our people, who have been subjected to hardship and pain due to bad governance. We seek God’s intervention to bring comfort and relief to those affected.”

The group also said prayers would be offered for the equitable distribution of resources.

“We will pray for the willingness of our political leaders to share the dividends of democracy evenly among all citizens.
