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!
