Group declare five day fasting and prayer for Buhari

A Socio-Political group, Cross River State progressives’ forum (CRISPROF) has declared a five-day fasting and prayer for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Chairman of CRISPROF, Barr. Eyo Nsa Ekpo who made the intention of the group known to newsmen in Calabar on Thursday said the five-day fasting and prayer would commence on Monday the 27th of February, 2017.

Ekpo said the group was totally in support of the administration of Buhari, which he said, has done well since it took over the mantle of leadership.

He said, ‘’ Members of the forum unanimously agreed to declare prayer and fasting from Monday 27th of February for the quick recovery of President Buhari.

‘’As you are aware this group has been in support of the administration of Buhari and would continue to support the President because of the good works he is doing for Nigeria.

‘’This is the first time we are having a President with integrity who has declared war on corruption which has been the bane of the development of this country.

‘’Our support for him is unanimous so we pray for his quick recovery so he can return to continue the good works he is doing for the country.

Ekpo said those wishing the President death should desist forthwith as God has destined him to deliver the country from years of miss-governance and corruption perpetrated by past administrations.

‘’It is so unfortunate that we have become so demonic and evil. If you ask people why they are mocking this President is because he is fighting evil and evil is fighting back from so many directions.

‘’It is unfortunate that a man who is trying to help the masses of this country who have been shortchanged for several years, it is the same masses that are vilifying him, but I think it is a product of ignorance and I know that with time we shall overcome.’’

Ekpo also expressed optimism that the President would soon be hale and hearty to continue with his good works for the country.

He, however, said the economic recession currently ravaging the country would be soon be a thing of the past as the President was doing everything humanly possible to salvage the country from its present economic woes.
