Addresing journalists on the prayer session slated for October 27, 2016 at the conference hall of the International Conference Centre, Abuja, the President of the Christian Legislators’ Fellowship, Senator Barnabas Gemade (PDP Benue North West), said as result of the importance of the spiritual gathering in tackling the challenges facing the nation, President Muhammadu Buhari, the entire leadership of the National Assembly, federal legislators, Ministers and diplomats have been invited.
