The United Pastors for Good Governance Support in Nigeria (UPGSN) has endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari for the coming general elections.
The President of the group, Rev. James Muya, told newsmen yesterday in Abuja that President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election is assured considering his performance in the fight against corruption, massive infrastructure and improved security.
The pastors urged their followers and Nigerians to come out and vote for President Buhari because of his performance.
“We have gone through the allegations against Buhari and found out they are untrue. In case you were told that Buhari is an extremist, our finding and research has proven it wrong; that is why we are endorsing him for a second term.
“Buhari is the only president in Nigeria that continued with the 95 percent abandoned projects of a previous administration.
“Today, we have seen a man who is been accused without proof. We are here to tell Nigerians that Buhari is a good leader, worthy leader and never had anything against Christians and Christianity.
“We endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari’s second tenure and we must stand and protect our votes,” Muya added.
Also speaking, Chaplain Yakubu Anza said he was encouraged that the pastors endorsed Buhari and that Nigerians must pray for their leaders because leadership comes from God.
“The president can’t govern without the masses’ support. God chooses who he wants. Both Christian and Muslim come from one God. The current leadership is the best.
“We want the leadership to go higher; that was why they were showing open support to them. Nigerians must avoid harming each other. The two major parties must eschew bitterness and know that it is only God that will finally approve their plans,” Anza said.
