The NCPC boss emphasised the importance of prayer for the government and encouraged his guests to continue praying for President Tinubu and those in government.
“Continue to pray for Mr. President, continue to pray for us in government; we will not let God down, we will not let the church down, and we will not let our families down,” he said.
