Masaka (Nasarawa State), March 2, 2018 (NAN) The Modibbo Haruna Buhari Charity Organisation has called for fervent special prayers by Nigerians for God’s intervention to end security challenges in the country.
Mr Modibo Suleiman-Masaka,the Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the organisation, made the call while speaking with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Masaka, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Suleiman-Masaka said that growing insecurity was not in the interest of national peace and development.
He called on Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s efforts in tackling security challenges in order to boost the socio-economic development of the country.
He also urged Nigerians to pray for the safe release and return of the abducted Dapchi school girls and other Nigerians still in Boko Haram captivity to enable them reunite with their family members.
According to him, fervent prayers among Nigerians would go a long way in ensuring successful operation by the military and other security agencies to ensure the rescue of the abducted girls and would also promote peaceful co-existence in the country.
“My appeal is to the religious leaders and other Nigerians to offer special prayers for God intervention for an end to kidnapping, terrorism, frequent farmers/herdsmen clashes, among others security challenges in the country.
“Let Nigerians also offer special prayers for the peaceful conduct of 2019 general election, let us pray to have an election without bloodshed because peace and unity are the ingredients for the development of any nation.
“We will not achieve any development or anything without prayer, prayer is key to the success of any individual and government, hence the need for special prayers to end the nation’s insecurity,” he said.
Besides, Suleiman-Masaka called on communities affected by insecurity and other Nigerians to provide useful information to the security agencies that would help in arresting trouble makers so as to complement government efforts in tackling insecurity.
He also called on President Buhari to re-contest, saying: “We are also joining other Nigerians to plead with Baba Buhari to re-contest because of his developmental strides.
“Buhari had done his best in the area of security and he is fighting corruption in total; his anti-corruption war is not selective as many corrupt people are being investigated by EFCC,’’ he added.
The BOT chairman prayed for more good health to the son of the president, Yusuf Buhari, who returned to the country on Feb. 27 from medical treatment following a motor-bike accident in Abuja in December 2017. (NAN)
