Some Christian clerics in Plateau
state say they have on a 40-day prayer for the reelection of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The group under the aegis of the
National Inter-Faith and Religious Organisations for Peace (NIFROP) is also
praying for peace and security of the country.
In a statement on Wednesday,
Sunday Garuba, a bishop and convener of the prayer, said God sent Buhari to
rescue the country that was on a brink of collapse.
Garuba said the enemies of
Nigeria would be defeated.
“This is especially on the heels
on the grand plot by agents of darkness to take Nigeria back to the bottomless
pit. But by God’s grace, that would not
happen. In the book of Exodus, we read the epic story of God’s power to free his
people from slavery. In chapter 14, we get to the climax of the story – the
crossing of the Red Sea.
“Before the people of Israel
cross over the sea, they come face to face with their enemy. Their enemy is
strong, and they are weak—but God is stronger. I therefore stand before you as
a servant of the highest God that the enemies of Nigeria shall be defeated
“We shall commence this programme
with worship and praise by guest singers and choirs. After which we shall begin
Intercessory prayer session for Nigeria, prayer session for President Buhari
and his cabinet, prayer for the Nigerian troops at the war front, intercessory
prayer for the upcoming General Election and peaceful conduct by all citizens,
and Intercessory prayer for our dear president and his victory at the poll.
“We shall also hold a special
Thanksgiving session with praises to appreciate God for the defeat of Boko
Haram and the political killers who came to torment the citizens of our dear
country. A prayer against evil men on the Plateau and other forces of evil
across Nigeria that have continued to encourage bloodletting in recent times.
“There shall also be a different
representation of members of the various faiths gathered, as well as messages
of solidarity to the good people of Nigeria. God in his infinite mercies would
make this event a huge success and also, by his grace alone President Muhammdu
Buhari shall return in 2019.”
The endorsement of Buhari comes
after some Shi’ites marched to Aso Rock to demand that Nigerians vote the president
out in 2019.
