The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Adbulrahsheed Akanbi, While addressing worshipers at the prayer session, on Thursday presided over a special prayer session organised for President Muhammadu Buhari by Muslims.
The monarch said it was necessary for citizens to pray for their leaders, he said President
Muhammadu Buhari “must spend eight years in power” despite all obstacles he is facing.
“As I have prayed for Buhari today, new life has
come for him. He
must spend eight years in power despite all obstacles from opposition,” Premium Times quoted him as saying.
Also said he was willing to bear any sickness that is ailing the
president, saying that those who love the country must love the leaders
as well.
Speaking on the #ResumeOrResign protests, Oba Akanbi said:
It is painful that those who launched that campaign of ‘Resume or Resign’ are not patriotic as they claimed,” he said. They politicised the campaign which shouldn’t be. Buhari is my son and I won’t be happy when people are wishing him dead.
If any civil servant or police officer falls sick, will you advise them to resign? Those who are clamouring for Buhari’s resignation are not sane.
Nigerians don’t love those that love them but they are passionate about those that hate them. All those who are wishing him dead and those who are clamouring for his resignation shall fall sick.
The prayer session, which took place at the monarch’s palace had prayers led by Christians, Muslims, and Traditionalists.
