A
Nigerian Bishop has spoken up about why Nigerians must come together to
pray off any evil about to befall president Muhammadu Buhari.
President Olusegun Obasanjo
Rt. Rev. Seun Adeoye, a Pentecostal Bishop, has urged Nigerians to
pray for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying his
wellbeing is so important to the nation’s co-existence and stability.
According to The Eagle Online, Bishop Adeoye warned that if
anything should happen to President Buhari, such would be a difficult
burden for the nation to bear as Nigeria will fall into wrong hands that
are ready do anything to turn it into their private estates.
The cleric, who spoke during the 1st Episcopal Honours and
Gallantry Awards held at the weekend at Sufficient Grace and Truth
Ministry, Rehoboth Arena, Okinni, Osun State, noted that only God can
sustain the President’s health.
He said: “I see trouble should anything go wrong with President
Buhari. So, we need to pray for his quick recovery from this ailment.
Buhari must not die; Buhari must live and that should be our prayers.
“If Buhari is not the president, we will be faced with more
lies and propaganda where we are going to be made to call black white.
Rule of law will turn to be rule of fear and democracy will be replaced
by despotism, favoritism and god-fatherism.
“We cannot allow Nigeria to be in the hand of any of the
present leaders. None of them can be the captain of this ship; they will
run it aground with their arrogance and selfish agenda. They will rob,
strip us Unclad and put us in perpetual bondage as slaves. So, I enjoin
all of us to pray for the President Buhari to get well quickly.”
On those who were honoured, Bishop Adeoye disclosed that they were
shortlisted from over 100 nominees and were screened by the church’s
Council of Clergy based on their courage, service to humanity and God
and their various contributions to the society.
Those on the successful list were the Commissioner of Police, Kwara
State, Olusola Amore; his counterpart from Osun, Fimihan Adeoye; Prof.
Ayo Fatubarin; Pastor and Prof. (Mrs) Olusegun Akinwusi; Dr. Kayode
Oduoye; Barrister Kanmi Ajibola; Femi Adefila; Dr. and Mrs. Niyi Oginni;
and Deacon and Deaconess Moses Ajayi.
Speaking on behalf of the awardees, Akinwusi, a former Head of
Service in Osun State, urged Nigerians to pray fervently for the nation
and not to keep mute or look the other way when things are going the
wrong in the country.
