Church leaders and Elders in Nigeria have called on the Federal Government to without further delay make public the true health condition of Nigeria President, Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Daily Post Nigeria, The Southern Nigeria Christian Elders’ Forum, SONCEF, on Thursday said that the call became imperative considering that the President was occupying public office and that even though Nigerians had the duty to pray for him, they equally deserved to know his true health status.
This request was part of the press release issued after SONCEF’s meeting, signed by its chairman, His Grace Most. Rev. Prof. David Eberechukwu and the secretary, Dr. Felix Ekiye.
In the 7-point release, Daily Post Nigeria says the group said, “we pray for quick recovery of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari;
“We, however, call on the Federal Government to fully disclose the health status of His Excellency Muhammdu Buhari, considering that he is occupying an exulted public office.
In February this year, UG Christian News reported that Christians in Nigeria were on their knees for their President’s miraculous healing.
This happened when HE Muhammdu Buhari extended a 10-day vacation in the UK for medical reasons to over a month.
Despite his administration’s best attempts to reassure the public, speculation about the health of the president, who has been in office since 2015, dominated national discussions.
The Church Elders communiqué further noted: “We note that the redemption of Nigeria now does not only require mere meetings and simple prayers, it requires concerted actions;
“We strongly condemn the removal or merging of Christian Religious Knowledge with National Value and Ethics in the Curriculum of Schools and we warn that any such surreptitious act could adversely affect the unity and stability of Nigeria;
“We call for the restructuring of Nigeria to reflect the ideal and principles of true federalism and sound democracy.” The group further stated.
