Lent: Buhari Tasks Christians To Pray For Nigeria’s Unity

buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday felicitated with Christians in Nigeria on this year’s commencement of Lenten season and charged them to pray for Nigerian unity.

According to a statement by his media adviser, Mr. Femi Adesina, Buhari said as Christians join their counterparts worldwide to emulate the worthy example of Jesus Christ who fasted for 40 days at the beginning of His earthly ministry, they should equally pray fervently for the country’s unity and progress this season.

Adesina said his principal believed that Nigeria’s existence as one united country was a divine arrangement and nothing should be done to balkanise it.

He also said the president enjoined all Nigerians to intensify love, brotherliness and concern for the less privileged members of their communities in order to strengthen the bond of togetherness.

“As Christians begin the period of increased prayers, piety, sacrifice and selfless services, the President wishes them and all Nigerians well,” Adesina added.

    May God Almighty brake his beck after bending his face to the back. Let him bring back alive all the souls he nd his ppl have murdered since 1965 till date…anyway,its too late for that…we dnt want a part in Nigeria ooo…our prayer is only tied to Biafra project nd Biafra Nation. A prayer for Nigeris is a waste of time…its like praying for God to padorn the devil after He has declared him for eternal damnation. Its no use… I tell u all now,pray for Biafra,let the muslims pray for their islamic Nigeria.

    Which “unity” you hypocrite ?. There was little or no unity before you came, and the little unity there was, you have destroyed and buried it with murderous policies; Your lope sided hausa Fulani dominated appointments, your murdering of hundreds of IPOB unarmed demonstrators, and imprisonment without trial, your murder og thousands of Shites. You sent the nigerian army to the Family home of Nnamdi Kanu and murdered scores of innocent people; including Kanu’s family pet dog. Kanu and his parents had not been seen or heard of ever since. You have consistently refused to obey Court Orders etc and you are here calling for nigerian unity. Too late Mr Buhari, far too late because Biafrans are leaving you and your murderous security agents- Police, army, dss, EFCC and the Fulani herdsmen to murder the rest of “your citizens”till no man standing. Good bye, and All Hail the United States Of Biafra, and may God bless Nnamdi Kanu where ever you have kept him and his parents. So long, Muhammadu Buhari, the blood sucker !

    Buhari is behind the present disunity currently vibrating in the country ,so our prayer point is “Lord help us remove Buhari from Aso Rock by fire, Let him be physically handicap to contest elections in nigeria again”

    Only a stupid person will pray for nigeria. The more you pray for nigeria the more you attract curses upon yourself.
    Ofcourse you should know that praying for nigeria unity is like angels praying for GOD and satan unity. Ofcourse you know the angels that do that will be thrown out of heaven.
