Bamidele: Buhari needs prayers - The Nation Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari needs prayers to conquer insurgency, a former House of Representatives member, Opeyemi Bamidele, has said.
In his Eid-el-Fitr message, the ex-Chairman, House Committee on Legislative Budget and Research, praised the Muslims for their condemnation of the insurgents and their sacrifices during the 30 days of fasting and prayers.
Bamidele praised the resolve of all sections of the country to work with Buhari’s government.
He said Muslims had made sacrifices for sustained unity and peaceful co-existence of the nation, saying it was wrong and callous for some faceless groups to be hiding under Islam to wreak havoc on the nation and its innocent citizens.
“Islamic clerics and members in some of their sermons have shown their disdain and resentments for Boko Haram. They have shown that insurgents are mere vampires fighting for selfish interests and not the interest of Islam.
“With their sacrifices and prayers during Ramadan, I share the belief that Boko Haram’s days are numbered in Nigeria.
“I plead with Muslims to continue to sustain their prayers as they did during Ramadan for President Buhari. Nigeria needs prayers at the moment to be able to check this group.”
