CHRIS ROOS - Over the weekend, the
announcement postponing the elections until
March 28 and April 11 was made. We give thanks
that the reaction to this announcement has been
relatively peaceful. March 28 will be elections for
the President and National Assembly. This is the
most closely contested Presidential election in the
history of Nigeria. Elections for Governors and
State Assemblies will hold on April 11. Continue
to pray for Nigeria and that the Lord will choose
the right people for these positions. -Chris Roos
