President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Imams at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

His speech read in part: “We pray that your administration would lead Nigeria to become the glory and pride of the nations in Africa and a country many people would desire to be, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Please count on this organization as one that has the success of your administration at heart.

“In that respect, we would not cease in praying for you and speaking out about what is expected to be done from time to time in keeping with the Bible, the word of God.”
