At the wake of the widely circulated rumour of President Muhammadu Buhari’s death, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, has urged Nigerians to allow the President who has gone on a medical leave, “to rest in peace”, in order to regain strength to pilot the affairs of the nation, instead of spreading false alarm.
Recall, that Buhari has been away for weeks on a medical vacation, in an undisclosed hospital in London.
Bello, who spoke on Sunday night,
through his Director General on Media and Publicity, Kingsley Fanwo,
said such evil wishes against the president, would do the nation no good
He said the emergence of President
Buhari at this, “critical period of the nation’s economy, should be seen
as a big blessing, and that Nigerians should join hands in prayers for
the President, to enable him lift the nation out of the woods.”
He added: “Every leader is installed by
the Almighty Allah, to help humanity and advance the wishes of God over
the people. The holy books urge us to pray for our leaders. The
injunction is for our benefit, because when leaders act right, the
people will reap the fruits.
“Wishing a person dead because of
political, ethnic, or religious difference, is a sin, and I will urge
all those who wished the President dead to seek for forgiveness from
God.”
