Osinbajo up to task of ruling Nigeria – CAN
The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Samson Ayokunle, on Thursday said the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo is up to the task of governing Nigeria in the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ayokunle made the remark in reaction to claims that a vacuum has been created in government since Buhari embarked on his medical vacation about a month ago.
The CAN President in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, Ayokunle maintained that there was no vacuum in government as insinuated.
The statement reads, “We don’t see the need for any hue and cry being made by some people that his unprecedented absence could create a vacuum in the Presidency since President Buhari has done what is needful by transferring power to the Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo who is up to the task.
“The Church should also continue praying for him for divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding as he discharges his constitutional responsibilities.”
The CAN President also urged Christians to continue praying for Buhari until he returns back to the country hale and hearty.
He added, “I call on all well meaning Nigerians, especially Christians not to cease praying for President Muhammadu Buhari as he takes further rest as advised by his doctors until he returns back to the country hale and hearty to continue his good works.
“It is needless reminding you that as Christians, our responsibilities include but not limited to making supplications, prayers, and intercessions, and giving thanks for our leaders and for all that are in the position of authority, ‘that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour…'” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
