THE Christian Legislators’ Fellowship International (CLFI), recently, celebrated its fifth anniversary with a call to the lawmakers to legislate in the fear of God in order to transform the country.

At the breakfast fellowship to mark CLFI anniversary, Steve Olumuyiwa, the guest speaker, said, “the socio-political upheavals being experienced in the country are as a result of the iniquities perpetuated in the land, adding that God is angry with the nations of the world because their leaders have abandoned righteousness.”

With the theme: Rebuilding The Old Waste Place, Olumuyiwa tasked lawmakers to establish law and order through their legislation, noting that it is time to rebuild the nation and that the current challenges confronting the nation will not destroy it.

According to him, “God will bring the needed transformation to pass in Nigeria if there will be people to grieve for the many iniquities committed on the land.

Earlier, President of the Fellowship, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, disclosed that the association plans to build a befitting chapel at the National Assembly in Abuja.

Chukwumerije said the anniversary celebration was organised to do more exploit within the National Assembly and beyond. He noted that the fellowship was already reaching out to more states and local government legislators across the country.

Also speaking, National Coordinator, CLFI, Pastor Ganiat A.E. Okorie, said the vision was borne out of the burden to pray for the election of God-fearing legislators into the National Assembly.

At the end of the sermon prayers were offered for all lawmakers at the Federal and State levels, as well as for the country.
