The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has described the inauguration of the National Assembly Christian Chapel in Abuja as a historic and spiritually significant moment for Nigeria’s democracy.
Speaking during the dedication ceremony at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja, Akpabio declared:
“There is no time like this. We have dedicated the chapel into the heart of democracy.”
Akpabio recalled that the foundation of the Chapel was laid during the 8th Assembly when he served as Minority Leader..
According to him, lawmakers had previously prayed wherever space was available, but they held firmly to the faith that a permanent place of worship would one day be completed.
He stated:
God used him as an instrument to complete the chapel.
The Chapel will serve as a spiritual pillar for national healing.
No building on earth can contain God, but the place is dedicated for His name to be honoured.
Quoting 1 Kings 8:29, he referenced King Solomon’s prayer that God’s eyes be open toward His temple day and night. He also echoed Psalm 127:1:
“Except the Lord builds the house, the labourers labour in vain.”
The Senate President emphasized that:
The Chapel was built through donations from past and present members of the National Assembly — not from public funds.
It was dedicated during the fasting and Lenten season, symbolizing spiritual reflection and renewal.
The Chapel is situated in the “citadel of the nation,” signifying faith at the centre of governance.
He added that in this Chapel, hope will be renewed for Nigeria, and the nation will grow stronger through prayer.
Special appreciation was extended to Oluremi Tinubu (referred to as Esther Oluremi Tinubu in remarks) for her contribution and support toward the completion of the project.
The Chapel symbolizes unity and spiritual guidance in governance.
Leaders come and go, but God remains constant — “Soldiers go, soldiers come.”
The establishment of the Chapel affirms that God dwells in His people.
Maintenance and reverence of the place were strongly emphasized.
Akpabio concluded with a prayer for divine strength:
“May God strengthen us even when we are weak.”
