The Labour Party (LP) Presidential flag bearer, Mr. Peter Obi’s, unexpected attendance of The Lord’s Chosen two-day crusade in Lagos elated faithful at the crusade ground.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports on Monday that the crusade ground was electrified at the sight of Obi, with shouts of incoming president.

The crusade, being held at the church’s headquarters in Ijesha Lagos, which was to seek God’s face for the congregation’s progress and the good of the Society, had as theme: “And Enemies Submitted”.

The crusade was one of the church’s flagship programmes held biennially to draw people closer to God, render supplications, petitions and intercessions by worshippers, that testified to the goodness of God in their lives and businesses.

The event, which had people from across the globe in attendance, was also used to offer prayers for countries undergoing transition in governance and with special prayer for Nigeria’s stability.

Speaking at the event, Obi requested for prayers for God to make him a vessel to use public funds for public good in Nigeria.

“I am a member of Chosen family and will always go for what will glorify God in every of my endeavours.

“It is an absurdity to misappropriate public funds and render the masses impoverished,” he said.

Obi decried poverty in the society and prayed that God would use him to change the status quo for public good.
