25,000 pastors to hold special prayer session for Buhari, Osinbajo in Lagos

No fewer than 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, General Muhammadu Buhari, and his running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on Tuesday, at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
The coordinator of the programme, Bishop Kayode Williams, said the ministers of God will come together to seek divine support for Buhari and Osinbajo.
Williams disclosed that the special prayer session, tagged “Divine Restoration of Nigeria Glory”, is being organized to correct the negative perception some Nigerians have 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. Williams who described the prayer session as a unique event, called on 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 said.
Williams implored Nigerians to be tolerant of one another’s faith, views and opinions as Nigeria is a secular country.
“The programme will have in attendance as special guests Buhari, Osinbajo and other eminent personalities,” he added.
