As the nation awaits the results of the Presidential and National Assembly elections conducted yesterday and today, Nigerians have been urged to take the outcome of the results as the will of God.
Pastor Olusola Adewumi of the Christ Apostolic Miracle Church, Ikole in Ekiti State made the call in his sermon to mark Palm Sunday in Ikole, Ekiti State.
Adewumi attributed the successful conduct of violence-free elections in the country to the prayer and fasting by Nigerians and Christians in particular during the Lenten period which would soon come to an end.
He said, "only the creator chooses a leader; whoever emerges as winner should be supported for the progress and unity of the country.
"Let us prevail on our fellow brothers and sisters to accept the outcome of the elections, be it the seat of the President or National Assembly."
The cleric further urged Christians who were observing the ongoing Lent not to go back to those worldly activities that they had shunned during the fasting period.
"You must strive to maintain the cordial relationship with your creator so that your spiritual life will continue growing and pave way for abundant blessings," he said.
A News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent who attended the palm Sunday service reports that some worshippers could not attend service as they monitored latest developments from Saturday's elections.
Some of the worshippers were also seen browsing their cell phones for possible release of the election results online, while some called their friends to get updates.
