Prayer at water project inauguration
Representing President Bola Tinubu at the event, the First Lady referenced 2 Kings 2:19–21 while offering prayers for Nigeria.
She said the newly commissioned water project symbolised healing and prosperity for the nation.
According to Mrs Tinubu, “As a minister of God, I would like to add a scripture from the Bible, 2 Kings 2:19–21. You can all go and read it. I use this water project as a point of contact to say a prayer for our nation and specifically verse 21,
‘Thus says the Lord, I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barren land.’ Our nation shall be peaceful, blessed, and fruitful in Jesus’ name.”
She concluded her remarks by praying for the Federal Capital Territory and the country, saying, “God bless the Federal Capital Territory and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
