Pray for Nigeria, cleric counsels Christians, Muslims

By Chris Onuoha

A LAGOS-based cleric, Rev. Yomi Kasali has  urged Nigerians to support the anti-corruption drive of President Muhammad Buhari by dedicating a day to pray for Nigeria.

The clergyman, who is the founder and senior Pastor of Foundation of Truth Assembly (FOTA), Surulere,   appealed to both Christians and Muslims to dedicate first Sundays and Fridays of every month to preach anti-corruption messages.

Speaking  during a press conference to announce the Church’s 10th year anniversary in Lagos,which kicks off yesterday, tagged: “Giant Killers Conference (GKC 2015), Ten Times Better” Kasali said: “President Buhari should be very careful in choosing who becomes minister in his administration and there’s need for him to take time and get people with high moral values that can purge corruption out of the country.”

He also said, “Nigeria is pleasantly blessed with abundant resources. However, issues of crime rate is going up. Buhari needs people with integrity around him, a new cruse, filled with water and salt to heal and restore the barren and saltless land.”
