25,000 PASTORS HOLD PRAYERS FORBUHARI

25,000 pastors and evangelists in the South-
West are to hold a special prayer session for
the presidential candidate of All Progressives
Congress, APC, Major-General Muhammadu
Buhari, and his running mate, Professor Yemi
Osinbajo, on Tuesday, at Teslim Balogun
Stadium, Lagos.
According to the coordinator of the
programme, Bishop Kayode Williams, the
ministers of God will come together to seek
divine support for Buhari and Osinbajo.
Williams, who revealed that the spiritual
exercise, tagged “Divine Restoration of Nigeria
Glory”, is being organized to disabuse the
minds of Nigerians about the wrong
impression being created about Buhari. “We
are four spearheading this prayer session: My
humble self, Rev. Moses Iloh, Archbishop
Magnus Atilade and Deacon Ayo Opadokun.
We are against wrong information being fed
members of the public about Buhari. catholic buhariFor those of us that followed
the track record of Buhari while he was in
public service, we know that this man is not a
religious bigot. Buhari is an upright man and
not anti-Christ as some people want to portray
him,” he declared.
While describing the prayer session as a
unique event, Williams implored Nigerians not
to use religion to confuse people or to divide
Nigerians.
“First and foremost, we should see ourselves
as one. We are all Nigerians. We should not
allow politics to divide us or cause bitterness
among us. We should love one another. It is
wrong for anybody or group to say Christians
are against Buhari – to us, Buhari is a
righteous Nigerian, and Christianity preaches
righteousness, and we want righteous people
in leadership, and this is why we are
organizing this prayer for Buhari to be the
next leader of this country”, he stated.
While reminding Nigerians that the country is
a secular state, Williams implored Nigerians to
be tolerant of one another’s faith, views and
opinions.
The cleric revealed that the programme will
have in attendance as special guests Buhari,
and Osinbajo and other eminent personalitie.
