Former Presidential  Adviser on National Assembly Matters, Senator Florence Ita Giwa has asked Nigerians to stop rumour mongering on the health condition of President Muhammadu Buhari but rather pray for him to return hale and hearty.
The leader of the Bakassi people of Cross Rivers also encouraged Nigerians to pray for peace in the country so that the ethnic and religious killings would stop forthwith, adding, that nobody should take delight in rejoicing over the misfortunes of others or creating unrest in order to claim innocent peoples lives.

In a statement signed on Saturday in Lagos, Senator Ita Giwa said that what should matter most to all Nigerians is praying for an improved health for the president, improved economy and peace for us all especially those in Southern part of Kaduna State. The statement reads in parts:”I am under obligation as a mother and as an elderly person to advise Nigerians on the impropriety of wishing any of our leaders dead.

It is very immoral for anyone to conceive or spread fake rumours about death. God is the creator of us all and in his due time, we all shall transit gloriously. So when anyone especially our President is indisposed, the best thing we can do is to pray for a speedy recovery and not otherwise.”

“The challenges of our dear nation is enormous. We should always pray that God should give our leaders wisdom to be able to lead us out of recession and this economic woes so we can have a stable economy and enjoy prosperity as a people. Let us also pray so that the many killings , kidnappings and other social vices should stop so we can live in harmony and in unity”.
