100 inter-faith clerics predict peace, prosperity in Buhari’s second term

Some religious leaders in Nigeria on Thursday, March 7, predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari's second-term will be peaceful and prosperous.

The religious leaders numbering over 100 had earlier predicted Buhari’s re-election at the February 23 polls after holding a 40-day prayer and fast last year.

As forecast, the incumbent emerged victorious, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In its usual trend of accurate and unbiased prophecies, the religious leaders have predicted enormous gains in the next four years.

The 100 clerics who are members of the National Inter- Faith and Religious Organizations for Peace made the declaration at the grand-finale of the three days thanksgiving and salat al- shukur held in Abuja.

Speaking on behalf of the Islamic clerics, Sheik Ibrahim Bulama expressed that the co-inhibition of both religions is a testament of president Buhari’s impeccable personality.

Bulama said: "We prayed and fasted for 40 days seeking the face of God for divine direction for Nigeria in our quest for greatness. We identified with President Muhammadu Buhari with a firm conviction that he would take Nigeria to the promised land. We also backed up our belief with prayers and supplements to Allah the most merciful and beneficent."

“And he heard our prayers and supplication by granting unto us our heart desires by the resounding victory recorded by President Muhammadu Buhari at the elections. Consequently, I say we have all done nobly," Bulama said.

“I want you all gathered her that there would indeed be a reward for the sacrifices in making supplications on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari for his success at the polls.

“In our actions, we have exhibited a resolve that Nigeria under Muhammadu Buhari is on the path to glory. In our prayer sessions, Allah indeed made us understand the uniqueness of the personality of Muhammadu Buhari in terms of his uprightness and sincerity of heart and purpose," the sheikh added.

Also, speaking on behalf of the Christian clerics, Arch Bishop (Dr) Julius Ediwe, added that anyone opposed to the president is challenging God's authority.

"This is because Mr Buhari is the anointed choice for Nigeria as revealed during the 40-day prayer and fast."

“Brothers and Sisters, let me make it clear here about statements coming from some supposed men of God describing the elections as rigged and not in the interest of the people. I am taken aback with such a statement, and in my capacity as the Provost of the South-South College of Bishops, I abhor such statement because God is not a man that he should lie,” Ediwe said.

Both groups, however, enjoined other Nigerians to pray and support the president to lead the country to greatness.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that some clerics in Nigeria on Tuesday, March 5, commenced a three-day praise and worship session over President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the just concluded 2019 presidential election.

These religious leaders led thousands of their followers to the Unity Fountain in Abuja to begin a three-day praise and worship program.

Majority of these clerics had similarly organized a 40-day prayer and fast for the president’s re-election.
