Several churches in Lagos, on Sunday March 22, took out time to ask for God's intervention in Saturday's Presidential election.

Senior pastors of some churches who presided over service led their congregation in praying for a peaceful and non-violent exercise.

The men of God also cautioned members on how to behave during and after the elections.

Reports say many of the the services monitored involved special prayer sessions for peace to reign before, during and after the elections.

It was gathered that Victor Adeyemi of Global Harvest Church, Maryland, led members to pray for peaceful polls and the enthronement of the will of God over Nigeria.

The 10th year anniversary service witnessed special prayer sessions in the two services for the will of God to reign over the elections.

The Nation reports that Daystar Christian Centre, Oregun, Pastor Sam Adeyemi urged members of the church to pray for “those who will fulfill God’s agenda to be elected .”

Pastor Adeyemi told his 20,000-strong congregation to pray against violence, bloodshed and for the will of God over the country.

At St. Gerald Catholic Church Soluyi, Gbagada, the priest urged the faithful to vote according to their conscience.

He warned members against getting involved in arguments with anyone at the polling station and also to desist from any form of campaign for any candidate or political party on the day of the election.
