President Buhari says Nigeria needs divine intervention to end insecurity
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that Nigeria needed a divine intervention to end the Boko Haram insurgency, banditry and other social vices plaguing the country.
The President made this known in Kano at a national prayer session organised by Gov Abdullahi Ganduje.
Buhari, who was represented at the forum by the Minister of State for Agriculture, Mustapha Shehuri stressed that the federal government was unrelenting in its efforts at tackling the challenges.
“Despite the support, there is a need to seek divine intervention for the Almighty to bring an end to the challenges.
“I am very happy with this initiative. Indeed Governor Abdullahi Ganduje is doing well in securing Kano and has given his quota to achieving peace in the country at large.
“No doubt, Nigeria is facing security challenges and we are doing our best to support the security personnel.
“That does not mean we should not seek divine intervention. This prayer session is part of the interventions and I commend the state governor for this,” the president said.
Gov Ganduje, while addressing the gathering, promised to make the prayer session an annual event and thanked the President for ensuring that Kano State remained peaceful.
