THE presiding Bishop of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries and Christlife Church, Ibadan, Bishop Wale Oke has assured the President-elect Muhammadu Buhari that Christian leaders are not against his election.
His statement comes against the backdrop of perceived affinity between the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria under the leadership of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and the outgoing President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
Rev Oke, who spoke with reporters in Lagos said: ‘’I must commend the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari for being such a rugged and tireless fighter. Once, twice and thrice he was beaten and he never gave up. I think that is quiet commendable. He never gave up because of the passion he has for his father land and this is the result we are seeing today.
“Talking about what he should do when he assumes power, he should father the nation. Nigerian needs a man who can bear her burden. He should carry everybody along. I want to assure him that the Christian body is not against his government and will never. We have been praying for him and we will continue to pray for him that God should uphold and give him wisdom on how to govern this nation.”
