APC women to hold national prayer for ‘hale, hearty’ Buhari

Women members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) say they will be holding a national prayer summit for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The president’s true state of health has been shrouded in secrecy. While some Nigerians say he is sick and suffering from an undisclosed ailment in a London Hospital, the Presidency and top officials in government including the Acting President, Minister of Information, Senate President among others have maintained that he is in good health, hale and hearty and not in any hospital.

However, APC deputy national women leader, Tina Ekwueme-Adike, told newsmen in Owerri on Friday that they have been worried with the speculations surrounding the health of President Buhari and have decided to organise a prayer summit to pray for him.

According to her, the prayer would be organised by the office of the APC deputy national women leader at Enugu and would be attended by mainly APC women from the entire Southern zone.

She said, “The prayer is specifically meant to implore God to re-enact back those values which Africans and Nigerians in particular are noted for, especially respecting human values and praying for our leaders.’’

Condemning the death rumours meted out in the social media on the health of the president, she added that the coming prayer summit for the nation and its leadership will also be for all Nigerians irrespective of their political parties, religion and tribal afflictions.
