Abuja, July 24, 2018 (NAN) The Abuja Municipal Area Council, (AMAC) Chairman, Abdullahi Candido, has called on religious leaders to seek divine intervention, to halt the seemingly endless killings in the country.
Candido made the appeal when leaders of the Women’s Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN), Abuja branch, paid him a courtesy visit on Tuesday in Abuja.
The chairman, who expressed displeasure over the recurring killings across the country, also admonished religious leaders to pray for peace and unity in the council and country.
He said that the country was going through tough times and urged the leaders to do something to stop the menace.
Candido said that the only way to heal the country from the incessant killings was for the religious leaders to lead in prayers.
“We should pray and ask God to put a stop to these killings, so that the nation could return to the path of peace,’’ he said.
Earlier in her address, the chairperson of the association, Mrs Victoria Ihesiulor, commended the chairman for his administration’s support and the encouragement given to the women to make meaningful contribution.
According to her, we want to commend your administration for giving the women a sense of belonging through your various programmes.
“And one of the reasons why we are here today, is to look into areas where we can collaborate with you to make your job easy.
“And also for you to achieve your set objectives of developing the grassroots and explaining the programmes of the government to the people,” she added.
