Thousands of women in Rivers State, Nigeria, have united to form a group called ‘Rivers Women Unite for Sim (RWUS)’. The group has initiated a monthly prayer program to support Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Led by Mrs. Sotonye Fulton, the group organized a prayer outreach to seek God’s mercy for the state and pray for the success and peace of Governor Fubara’s administration.
The prayer program took place at the Ministry of Women Affairs auditorium in Port Harcourt. The theme of the program was “Tear down the walls of Jericho with praise.” The women engaged in praise and worship, creating a spiritual atmosphere. Deputy Governor Prof. Ngozi Odu, who was present at the event, expressed gratitude to the women for initiating and sustaining the prayer sessions. She emphasized the strength that comes from unity and encouraged the women to continue supporting the government as it strives to fulfill its promises to the people.
Prof. Odu also assured the women of her participation in the monthly prayer sessions, highlighting the importance of collective prayers. The governor’s wife, Mrs. Valerie Fubara, also addressed the women, emphasizing the significance of prayer and supplication for the state. Mrs. Fubara expressed her happiness to be part of the prayer initiative and recalled the recent solidarity of Rivers women through a long walk in the state capital, Port Harcourt, in support of Governor Fubara.
In her plea to the women, Mrs. Fubara said, “Please, my dear women, don’t give up. This is our government. It is your prayers that changed every negative spoken word, and your continuous prayers will make Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration succeed.”
