This is a
press statement released by Evangelist( Barr.) Kwamkur Samuel, Director of
Legal and Public Affairs, CAN in regards to the President's health.
"The
Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN) is deeply concerned about the ongoing
national conversation on the absence of the President due to ill- health. We
wish to call on all Nigerians to join hands in prayers for the quick and full
recovery of Mr. President and his safe return to Nigeria instead of dwelling on
the needless rumour mongering on the President's health.
"President
Muhammadu Buhari is human, hence subject to health challenges sometimes. CAN
appreciates the anxiety of Nigerians to hear Mr. President speak, but sues
for understanding as we await that. It is very clear that our leader is
passing through health challenges.
"We
advise the Presidency to update
Nigerians on how he is fairing and the full progress of his recovery.
"We call
on all Christians and indeed all God-fearing Nigerians to dedicate time of
prayers for our President and the nation. We owe our leaders prayers and
support at all times while shunning divisive opinions that only generate
strive.
"CAN also
call on Nigerians to give the Vice President who is also the Acting President
full support and prayers to lead well.
"We
acknowledge that government is a continuum, hence, we call on Acting President,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to be bold in
handling critical State matters and not to be distracted by those who do not
wish Nigeria well.
"God
bless Nigeria!
