Christians have been
called upon to always pray for ministers of the gospel and those in positions of authority, for success.
The Secretary to the state Government, prof Kenneth Kalu who made the call during a special *Send-off Service* held in honour of a Presbyterian, Rt. Rev. Johnson Kalu, at the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Emmanuel Mega Parish,Umuahia, maintained that both spiritual and political leadership require divine guidance and support.
Professor Kalu noted that while ministers of the gospel play crucial role in shaping moral values and building strong societies, public office holders work to advance good governance and hence emphasized the need for consistent prayers for both, as their responsibilities greatly affect the lives of citizens.
