ABUJA – The
President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Dr Samson
Ayokunle, weekend, called on all Nigerians to sustain their prayers
for the complete recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.
his is just as the
CAN helmsman on behalf of Christian faithful congratulated PMB, his
family and the populace on his return to the country 51 days after he
left for London, for medical reasons.
Buhari who returned
Friday had a brief meeting with the Federal Executive Council,
service chiefs and other top government functionaries said the Vice
President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo who had been acting in his stead while
away would continue to act.
Welcoming him back to the country,
Ayokunle, in a statement issued and signed by his Special Assistant
(Media and Communications), Pastor Adebayo Oladeji urged Nigerians,
especially, Christians, not to cease praying for a total and perfect
healing for him.
He said: “CAN rejoices with the family of
President Muhammadu Buhari, the government and the whole nation on
his return to the country after spending 51 days abroad for medical
reasons. We will continue praying for his full recovery in order to
be able to continue the task of rebuilding the country and most
especially, to end the economic recession and its attendant problems.
“We urge him to do everything within his power to strengthen Naira
which has been facing unprecedented devaluation since its emergence
in order to bring the much awaited relief to the people who have been
groaning under the yoke of the economic recession.”
The CAN
President commended Buhari for handing over power to his deputy as
mandated by the constitution, praising Osinbajo too for living up to
the expectation of his principal and the people.
“It is worthy to
commend President Buhari for transferring power to the Vice
President, Osinbajo whole away to avoid any breach of the
constitution as we witnessed in recent history. We also acknowledged
the loyalty, commitment and dedication of his deputy who live up to
the expectation,” he said.
The statement noted with dismay the
failure of the government at all levels to pay the workers and the
pensioners as and when due which has compounded the problem in the
polity.
“It is disheartening to note that workers and pensioners
are being denied of their inalienable right nation-wide as a result
of the poor management of the meager resources at all levels of the
government, and it is our prayer that God will help President Buhari
and his team to bring the economy out of the wood sooner than later.
“Our prayers, complimenting the efforts of those who are at the
helm of the affairs will go a long way in bringing back the golden
era with an accelerated speed. Our God who did it in Samaria is still
on the throne on our behalf,” it said.
The body tasks its members
to always remember that praying for those at the helms of the affairs
of the country is a divine mandate.
“The Scripture tasks us to be
praying ‘for kings and all those in authority, that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good,
and pleases God our Savior’ (1 Timothy 2:2-3).
“As Christians, it
is a divine mandate to be interceding for our leaders in order for us
to enjoy the benefits that our country brings; we must strive to
always pray for the people who have been made to rule over us,
irrespective of our political and religious differences,” CAN
reminded.
