25,000 pastors hold prayers for Buhari in Lagos

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.
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 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 personalities
