Halleluyah Nigeria, in conjunction with Nigerian churches and the Full
Gospel Business Men Fellowship, will on Thursday commence 400 hours
non-stop praise and worship to celebrate President Muhammadu Buhari’s
recovery after over 100 days of medical vacation in the UK.
The programme will also celebrate Nigeria’s exit from recession and mark
the 57th independence anniversary of the country on October 1.
Over 140 church choirs and several gospel artistes will be part of the
event, which takes off September 14 at 8am and will end at midnight to
usher in October 1.
Last year, the group held 365 hours of “non-stop” praise to mark the
first anniversary of Buhari and seek God’s help for the administration
and the country to overcome the economic recession.
Oluseyi Malomo, a pastor and chaplain of Aso Rock Villa Chapel, said the
first 343 hours of 16-day programme will take place at Sharon Ultimate
Hotel in Abuja while the last 57 hours will be held at the National
Christian Center.
Funding comes from voluntary donations from individuals and members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), he said.
Malomo said “the spirit of appreciation is the motive behind this event.
We are taught in all our cultures and faiths the principle of
thanksgiving, to show appreciation for good deeds done to us. This is
because appreciation enhances more benevolence towards him who is
appreciative.
“Let us all be appreciative to God who has not just kept us together for
these 57 years, but has blessed our nation with such resources of
enviable potential of land, minerals and great and resourceful people.
“With such attitude, our nation shall continue to wax stronger, take her
rightful place in the comity of nations and shall soon become the toast
of the world.”
