Founder, Esther Ajayi Foundation, Rev. Mother Esther Ajayi, has urged political and religious leaders in Nigeria to embrace unity, preach peace and ensure they promote togetherness.
Mrs Ajayi, who is also the general overseer, Love Of Christ Church, Clapham, London, made the call at a press conference held in Lagos on Thursday ahead of the July 20 Celebrate The Comforter 2019 programme scheduled for Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
She noted that the annual event which had previously been held in the United Kingdom and the United States will be coming to Nigeria for the first time and it is aimed at unifying Christians and Nigerians in general.
Religious, political and traditional rulers, according to her, have a special role to play in ensuring that what remains of peace in the country is jealously guarded.
“Religious leaders should however, readily accept blames for the present moral decadence among the youths because it appears they have failed in their roles as the set of people to mould the future for the youths.
“They should therefore work in unison with the government in ensuring that those that visit places of worship have messages of moral uprightness consistently drummed into their ears,” she said.
In her words, the fundamental objective of The Comforter 2019 is “to bring the Celestial and Cherubim and Seraphim churches together and to tell the world that we believe solely in the word of God.”
The 2018 edition was held at United Palace, New York.
It recorded a huge attendance with former President Olusegun Obasanjo one of the speakers.
