The Real Reason Christian Leaders Supported Buhari Instead Of Jonathan - Prophet Samuel Abiara

The General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Worldwide, Prophet Samuel Abiara, has disclosed reasons why many Christian leaders in Nigeria supported Gen. Muhammadu Buhari over out-going President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election.

He said Buhari’s choice was premised on the fact that he has the capacity to foster peace and development that Nigerians desire. Abiara stated this during the inauguration of a new General Superintendent of the church, Pastor Samuel Olusegun Oladele at the All Saints’ Chapel of the CAC in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Speaking on the outcome of the election, he said:

“I prophesied before the election that there would not be any problem before, during and after the general elections and thank God that it came to pass.” He also described Buhari as an embodiment of peace, adding that the support of Christian leaders for the retired general was for the good of the country. He said, “The Christian leaders are not partisan, but considered peace as paramount as our concern is about who will engender security of lives and properties. Therefore, we don’t care whether a Christian or Muslim becomes our president; all we wanted was someone who would bring about peace that people desire.”
