governor the SPECIAL INAUGURAL EDITION Lagos Prays PRAY FOR LAGOS AND COVER LAGOS 24/7 IN PRAYER “Open the floodgates of heaven, Lord. Let your grace, mercy, and supernatural insight rain on Lagos. Let fresh ideas, kindness, selflessness, humility, and empathy rain on Lagosians even as we enter into four years of plenty #ForAGreaterLagos in Jesus name.” - HE Babajide Sanwo-Olu 26 Lagos Prays is an inter-denominational group coming together to cover Lagos with a blanket of prayer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our mission is to mobilise people to pray across the state. We gather online or in designated locations around Lagos to offer Jesus- Centred prayers for Lagos, our leaders and concerning challenges that confront Lagos. We stand in the gap for our state, our leaders and our people. The challenges confronting Lagos State are enormous and require not just skills and competencies but continuous intercessory prayers, from traffic and transportation to health and environment, from education and technology to making Lagos a 21st century cosmopolitan mega-city in the heart of Africa and from entertainment to tourism, arts and culture, coupled with recent rapid growth of population due to influx from other states, preponderance of indiscipline and impunity. The regeneration of Lagos demands “praying without ceasing”. Lagos Prays plans to include governmental leaders and walks on strategic sites within Lagos. Lagos Prays is designed to promote a culture of prayer and bring prayer to the forefront by igniting, motivating, mobilising and activating ordinary people from all godly faith in Christ Jesus to pray for state and local government leaders, staff, co-workers, family, friends, neighbors and all citizens, as we bridge gaps, bring unity and change the spiritual climate over our state as we invite God into our everyday affairs. We will pray for all authorities including government leaders and pastors, church elders, school boards, school principals, employers, businesses, art and entertainment and media. “Guarding” means to encircle, hedge around, pray, war, protect, serve, watch, guard, patrol, intercede, cover and to shield. The Lagos Prays team is composed of intercessors, prayer warriors, prophetic intercessors, prophets and spiritual warfare intercessors whose mission is to guard our state.
governor the SPECIAL INAUGURAL EDITION NIGERIA 2023 Chief Sunny Akinsanya Ajose (OON) What is your take on rumours of Asiwaju aspiring to be president in 2023? It is the expectation of the general populace that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will run for the 2023 presidential elections. He has not even told anybody that he is coming out to run, but that is what the people want. People are flying that kite, unfortunately, some people are jittery about it, but you cannot throw away gold or diamond for just a raw iron. If the man is capable of pulling Nigeria out of its death root, then there is nothing stopping him. He is Nigerian. He has the qualification, he has the expertise, he has the knowledge and he is open to the people. There are so many qualities that the man has that the others don't have, so you cannot just adjudge him by trying to blackmail him that he cannot come out because that's exactly what people are trying to preempt, but I am sure when the time comes, we all will see what the population will say. This is the first time in Lagos State since 1999 that an incumbent governor did not get the support of the party in Lagos State. As the deputy chairman of the APC in Lagos State. Can you shed some light on this? You are right that this is the first time in twenty years that this kind of thing is happening, it is quite unfortunate that it happened that way but in our own case in APC, we take seriously, the affairs of the general populace and members of the party especially the down trodden ones. We had series of experience during the course of this administration, however, the idea of removing all the street sweepers from the road and then incapacitating the PSP operators gave the party leaders a lot of concern. As you can see, there is so much garbage in every nuke and cranny of the state which turned the state almost to a point where it was during the period of the military when Asiwaju came in before restructuring the pattern of how we evacuate refuse from all the homes. Deviating from that, gave us a bad image both locally and internationally and during that period, there was fear of Lassa fever because rats were beginning to have a place of abode in all the debris that are all over the state. So they brought in the vision scape. The concept vison scape 27
