The Christian Association of Nigeria has urged Nigerians to continue praying for Buhari

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged Nigerians to sustain their prayers over President Muhammadu Buhari and the country.

The president of the association Samson Ayokunle said CAN rejoices with the first family on the return of President Buhari.

In a statement signed by Adebayo Oladeji, the spokesperson to the CAN president, the association also congratulated Buhari on his return after spending 51 days on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom.

“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," Ayokunle said.

He also called on the president to do all within his power to ensure that Nigeria's economy is developed and the naira strengthened.

“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.

He also encouraged government at all level to pay workers and pensioners as at when due.

“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.”

“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," Ayokunle added.
