The Christian Association of
Nigeria, CAN, and clerics drawn from various churches in Borno State, have
declared a seven-day special fasting and prayers to God for the speedy recovery
and good health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The fasting and prayers commenced
yesterday, with Christians converging at various churches. Last Friday, CAN’s mother body in
Abuja, in a statement by Evangelist Kwamkur Samuel, Director Legal and Public
Affairs, called on Christians, and all God-fearing Nigerians to declare special
praying time for President Buhari and the nation.
Governor Kashim Shettima had also
instructed the Borno State Ministry of Religious Affairs to write the CAN
Chairman, requesting prayers for the President in appreciation of his
commitment to the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency.
Combined interdenominational church
services commenced across the state yesterday and are expected to last for
seven days.
