President Muhammadu Buhari‘s second term bid has been endorsed by one thousand pastors under the auspices of the National Inter-Faith and Religious Organizations for Peace (NIFROP).
Explaining the reason for their decision, the clerics told reporters that they endorsed the President due to a revelation that God has anointed him to lead Nigeria for another four years.
Zebra News understands that the clerics endorsed President Buhari at the Unity Fountain in Abuja, on Friday.
The clerics while warning Nigerians against disrupting the flow of God’s blessing to the land, called for support for the President’s reelection bid, so he could “continue running the errand God has sent him”.
The National President of NIFROP, Bishop Sunday Garuba, who spoke on behalf of the group, claimed Buhari “is anointed to lead the country for eight years, and as such, should be given the necessary support for him to fulfil the prophecy”.
He said: “Before NIFROP announced today’s rally sometime last week, we had been led by the spirit to hold forty days of fasting and prayer. In the course of this exercise, undertaken on behalf of the nation, it was revealed to us that President Buhari is God’s anointed to lead Nigeria to greater heights.
“As you can see, we are more than 1,000 clerics across faiths and denominations. We are apolitical and only delivered this message concerning President Buhari for its what our maker has collectively instructed us to do and we cannot do otherwise, lest we attract wrath unto ourselves.
“The union of 1,000 clerics of diverse faiths is something that should prick the interest of Nigerians. But it is not a phenomenon for which we should waste time seeking answers. The leadership style of President Buhari as defender of all faiths, ordained to save our religions, is the source of the newfound cohesion that has toned down the tendency for religion to be the source of strife among communities.
“The naysayers may argue it but Nigeria is on the way to recording fewer and fewer instances of sectarian strife until the larger population of Nigeria will enjoy the kind of cordial relations we have at NIFROP.
“Fortunately, this godly touch is manifesting in other facets of our national life. The corruption that used to be the trademark of Nigeria is now being recognized as an abomination to our creator, something that has been made possible by President Buhari.
“We are aware that there are those now seeking to return Nigeria to Egypt, back to the days when corruption and theft of public funds was the order of the day.
“We stand on the revelation given to us by God to declare that as He decreed, so shall it be. We on this note appeal to the electorate to ward off evil from Nigeria by aligning with God’s will by voting President Buhari to continue with the work that has been entrusted to him,” he added.
Concise News reports that the President had met with leaders of various support and diaspora groups of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He received the leaders at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory just eight days to the general elections.
Present at the meeting are the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and other members of the ruling party.
Also in attendance are Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, and National Coordinator, Dr Mahmud Abubakar, among others.
