A Yoruba traditional ruler has offered to bear president Muhammadu Buhari’s sickness to allow him spend two terms in office unhindered.
The Oluwo of Iwo while speaking on the need for the president to complete 8 years in office made this known on Thursday.
The Oluwo of Iwo, Adbulrahsheed Akanbi, while presiding over a special prayer session organised for the President following his return into the country by Muslims, Christians and traditionalists at his palace in the town stated that it was necessary for Nigerians to pray for their leaders.
He further added that the president would recover fully so he can govern the country for two terms.
He added: “As I have prayed for Buhari today, new life has come for him,” he prayed.
“He must spend eight years in power despite all obstacles from opposition.”
The traditional ruler further added that he is willing to bear any sickness that is ailing the president so he can achieve what he has set out to achieve.
The monarc further stated that those who love the country must love their leaders wholeheartedly too adding that “It is painful that those who launched that campaign of ‘Resume or Resign’ are not patriotic as they claimed.”
“They politicised the campaign which shouldn’t be. 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.”
