The Nasarawa State Chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has setup a committee to intensify prayers for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari currently on medical vacation in London.
The state’s CAN Chairman, Bishop Joseph Masin made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lafia on Thursday.
“We pray that may Almighty God grant the President speedy recovery in order for him to come back and continue his responsibilities in office.
“He is our President, so he needs our prayers and we all need to pray for him, irrespective of our differences,” he said.
According to him, the committee is also charged with the responsibility of praying for the peaceful coexistence among the different ethnic and religious groups in the state.
The chairman, who said the association was also not in support of the disintegration of the country, advised those agitating for the breakup of Nigeria to be conscious of the consequences of their utterances.
Masin also said the association had concluded plans to tour the 13 Local Government Areas of the state, to sensitise Christians on the need to live in peace and harmony.
The religious leader also appealed to the state government to settle workers’ salary arrears and other entitlements to end the ongoing industrial action. (NAN)
