APC women end 21-day prayer and fasting for Buhari's health

President Muhammadu Buhari 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Women Aspirants Forum has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his successful Democracy Day celebration which followed his inauguration for a second term in office.

The National Leader of the forum, Mrs Adedoyin Eshanumi, who led other women aspirants to a thanksgiving prayer on Friday on behalf of the president, noted that God answered their prayers by ensuring that both events were successful.

She also used the occasion of the thanksgiving to seek God’s protection for President Buhari, as he pilots the affairs of the nation for another four years.

She pleaded for the inclusion of more women into his administration to facilitate nation building.

“We pray God to give our dear president the good health, strength and wisdom needed to lead the country to the next level.

“We are about 360 women that contested for different elective positions but only 0.1 per cent scaled through.

“Our dear president promised to include us in his government to show us love the way we have supported him through our votes and prayers and we promise not to let him down, especially as the anti-corruption crusade intensifies,” Eshanumi said.

Recall that the APC Women had embarked on a 21-day fasting and prayer on May 25 to seek God’s intervention against any obstacle that could hinder the President’s Democracy Day celebration and smooth takeoff of his second term.
