NPF holds special prayer for unity and renewal
The Naga People’s Front (NPF) held a Special Prayer Program at its Central Office in Kohima, seeking spiritual renewal and unity among its members as the party moves toward the proposed merger with the NDPP, which, according to Mr. Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu, is “becoming a reality through the earnest prayers of the people.”
Nienu remarked that it has been revealed that the NPF—once perceived by many as declining and at its lowest ebb—will soon regain its strength and return to power. He encouraged all members to remain truthful and faithful to their colleagues and the party, urging everyone to stay humble and not overconfident in political life while calling upon all to earnestly pray for the forthcoming merger day.
NPF President Apong Pongener, in his remarks, expressed gratitude to the organisers of the Special Prayer Programme and fondly recalled the contributions of the pioneers of the party, who, despite numerous challenges, laid a strong foundation for its growth. He exhorted the present leaders to live up to the legacy of their predecessors and to continue moving forward with unity and faith. He further encouraged everyone to seek God’s guidance not only for the party but also for the entire Naga people and to pray for the success of the upcoming merger day.
Sano Vamuzo, Advisor of the NPF Central Women Wing, reflected that the two regional parties are now nearing their merger. She noted that the NPF has endured many struggles and challenges over the years for various reasons, yet continues to stand firm through faith and perseverance. Observing that the Naga people today are divided and disillusioned, she emphasised the need for unity and spiritual renewal, describing the prayer programme as timely amid the party’s ongoing reorganisation. She urged all members to seek God’s wisdom, understand His purpose for the party, and remain faithful to both God and the NPF’s founding principles.
The program was chaired by Atou Lieziestu, General Secretary, with Mathew Rongmei, Press Secretary, recording the proceedings. The programme began with the hymn “The Lily of the Valley” led by Banuo Sanchu, Vice President (Asst. Administration), followed by Scripture reading and prayer by H Zungkum Chang, General Secretary. Tseibou Khusoh, General Secretary, highlighted the purpose and significance of the service.
