A group under the aegis of Northern Inter-Faith and
Religious Organization has stated that Nigerians should be thankful to
President Muhammadu Buhari, whom it claimed shut the mouth of ‘blood suckers’
in the country.
It said what Buhari needed now was prayer and not unnecessary
criticisms from Nigerians.
The National Co-coordinator of the group, Bishop Musa Fomson
in a statement issued on Thursday and forwarded to DAILY POST, said there was
urgent need to pray for the president’s health so that God could strengthen him
and enable him revive the country’s economy.
He said, “God has used President Buhari to seal the mouth of
blood suckers who daily cause anguish to Nigerians through the instrumentality
of terrorists and insurgents. They make the blood of Nigerians flow to suck in
their wicked covens. In this we again thank God for President Buhari, whose
competent military chiefs have pushed back the evil. We however do not lose
sight of the truth.
“These evil people are beyond the ordinary, the security
breaches in Nigeria have their spiritual connections. The renewed attacks by
remnant of Boko Haram terrorists were manifestation of spiritual manipulation
to keep Nigerians in the bondage of fear. This bondage we shall break with
prayer.”
He also said Nigerians need to come together and pray to God
to heal the land as well as free the country from the hands of “evil men whose
aim is to hold back Nigeria’s progress”.
Fomsom recalled that prior to the 2015 elections, there were
doubts and despair that overwhelmed the land, stressing that at that time, it
was almost concluded that the election or its outcome will break up the
country. He however said through prayers God intervened and Buhari was elected
President
According to Fomson, “We are again confronted by not too pleasant
situations brought about by human interference with the divine. Some persons
have made it their life ambition to truncate the anti-corruption fight that the
entire nation yearned for.
“Their contamination of the process is evident in the
frustration of investigations. We see it in the bizarre rulings in our law
courts. The din of pro-corruption protesters echoes across the world. The
anti-corruption crusade needs prayers.
“Our economy needs prayers too. It has taken only the grace
of God and the prudence of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to keep
Nigeria from the brink economically. We thank God for this because we did not
end up like Venezuela which has similar configuration as us. While thank God
for this good fortune we nonetheless recognize that our economy needs prayers.”
He said Nigerians will be using intercessory night to pray
God to complete the healing process of the nation and Mr. President.
“We invite Nigerians of all faiths to join us on this night
as it is important that we pray for President Buhari’s health and quick
recovery because of the many things that God is planning to use him for beyond
2019,” he said.
He revealed that the prayer night will be held at the Nyanya
Prayer Ground in Abuja on May 13, 2017.
