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 personalitie
