Buhari needs prayer – Catholic bishop

Bishop Martins Uzoukwu, the Catholic Bishop of Minna Diocese, has called on Nigerians to pray for President Muhammadu Buhari’s quick recovery.

Addressing newsmen in Minna shortly after Sunday service, the cleric noted that praying for the president was imperative in view of the myriads of problems facing the country.

“I specifically pray for our President to return back home safely to administer the affairs of our great country, we should all seek divine intervention in our nation’s socio-economic and political activities.”


Speaking further, the bishop urged Nigerians to shun sentiments and put all hands on deck for this country to move forward irrespective of culture, religion and political affiliation.

He also called on Nigerians to always wish their leaders well, to enable them implement policies that would be beneficial to all.

Uzoukwu also enjoined President Buhari to demonstrate the political will in ending the endless killings of Nigerians by the insurgents, especially in the north easter part of the country.

According to him, Nigerians must assist the government and security agencies to tackle other crisis situations in the nation.
