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, Vanguard reports.
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.
For 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 wants 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.
