ASH WEDNESDAY: NCPC BOSS ENJOINS CHRISTIANS TO UPHOLD JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS

The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Bishop Stephen Adegbite, has called on Christians in Nigeria to uphold justice and fairness during the Lenten season.

In his Ash Wednesday message, Bishop Adegbite emphasized the importance of putting God at the center of their fasting and prayers. “When you fast, you must uphold justice and fairness, God must be at the centre of it all,” he said.

In a release signed by Celestine Toruka, the Deputy Director and Head, Media and Public Relations, Bishop Adegbite explained that Lent is a period of sober reflection, abstinence from food, water, and other pleasures, observed for forty days and forty nights. He encouraged Nigerians to continue praying together, regardless of their religious affiliations, highlighting the significance of interfaith harmony.

The NCPC boss specifically called for prayers for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and other top government officials, seeking God’s wisdom and direction for them.

Bishop Adegbite prayed that the merciful Lord would bless Nigeria and Nigerians during this fasting period and beyond.
