SAN FRANCISCO, August 16, (THEWILL) – President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, on Wednesday urged Nigerians to stop playing politics with the health of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ayokunle, who spoke in Lokoja, Kogi, said Nigerians should leave out sentiments and pray more for the quick recovery of Buhari who is currently on medical vacation in London.
“Let us continue to pray for the President. We don’t play with the life of a human being, and nobody wants to fall sick. So don’t let us continue to make politics out of sickness. Let us continue to pray for him,” the CAN president said.
NAN reports that Ayokunle, who visited the Kogi State chapter of CAN, also cautioned those calling for the resignation of Buhari to be guided by the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.
“The position of CAN is that, we should follow the constitution, we have the constitution to guide us. So whatever the constitution says let us follow it, we drew it ourselves so let us not break it,” he added.
The CAN president also spoke on the ongoing strike by university lecturers, urging them to dialogue with the Federal Government to quickly resolve the dispute.
According to him, “I think this issue has been on ground for too long, let there be a parley between ASUU and government.
“We are playing with the future of the younger generation. So let us show them love, don’t let us allow our children to grow up hating us, hating the nation.
“Strike today strike tomorrow; I beg both parties to exercise patience, understanding and maturity.
“We know that the economy is going upside down, we believe that as we are praying for those managing the economy they will come out strong and be able to proffer solutions.”
