Most comments against President Buhari are from Churches – Buhari's spokesman

Femi Adesina, spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that most of the comments against the Buhari’s administration are from the Churches in the country.

He disclosed this at the weekend , while addressing participants at the meeting organised by the Christian Press Association of Nigeria (CPAN).

Presidential spokesman, despite the criticisms, called on Christians to pray for their leaders. According to him, “How frequent do you pray for your leaders and how much support do you give them? Instead of criticising people in government and judging them, pray for them.”

“Before the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, the late Ocholi, died, we had more Christians in the cabinet than Muslims and after his death, the number became equal…Unfortunately many of the comments I have heard against the government are from the church,” Adesina said.

The SA Media & Publicity to President Buhari however charged Christians in governments and other public officers to be living examples.
He said, “Let your light so shine so that people can see your good works, that is what the Bible says. So, working with government should help you to affect a larger number of people for God.”

Recall that Christians in the country have at several occasions called on the administration to address security issues particularly aimed at Christians in the country.

There have been petitions from Christian bodies especially, Christian Association of Nigerian ( CAN) that Boko Haram has killed more than 20,000 Christians and Muslims and displaced millions in the past 10 years, in a move to establish national Sharia law. ilitant Fulani herdsmen have joined Boko Haram in its violence in recent years, reportedly killing thousands.
