Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja,
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby during his visit to Abuja House London, to see President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed the church would be praying for him following his declaration for a second term in office.
“You have my best wishes on your recent decision. I read your declaration speech. We are neutral as a church, but we will pray for you. Great statesmen are those who run for the good of their country,” the clergyman told the President.
Welby said it was always a delight to see Buhari whom he said he had tremendous respect for.
The Archbishop presented Buhari with a copy of his recent book, “Reimagining Britain. Foundations for Hope.”
Buhari and Welby were joined by the Nigeria High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, George Oguntade; and the Secretary General of Anglican Communion, Archbishop Josiah Idowu-Fearon.
