Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, on Tuesday charged Nigerians to pray for President Muhammadu Buhari “because it is in our collective self-interest to do so.” His appeal is coming at a time the Presidency announced Buhari’s return to the United Kingdom, UK, for follow-up medical check-up.
However, the governor while addressing reporters in Kaduna advised those passing uncomplimentary comments on Buhari to stop, saying that speculative information on the President’s health would not help the government.
Tambuwal urged Nigerians to rally round the President, saying it is the only way to take the country to the next level.
According to Tambuwal, “Nigerians should refuse to be manipulated and influenced negatively through fake and speculative news, misinformation and disinformation, but exercise patience, cooperate with and support the government.
“Nigerians must co-exist peacefully and be our brothers keepers.
“This is critical because crisis prone areas affect investor’s confidence, while the consequence is stunted development.
“Hence, we need to support this government so that the agenda of accelerated and sustained socioeconomic development will be entrenched.
“Also, our potential as an economic power house and a major player in continental and global sphere becomes manifest in the shortest possible time.”
