Archbishop of Canterbury with President Muhammadu Buhari in London today.Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said that the recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari from health challenges in London is a testimony to the healing powers of God and answer to prayers of millions of people round the world.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, who paid a personal visit to the President today, Friday at Abuja House in London, offered to continue praying for both President Buhari and Nigeria.
This was even as President Buhari expressed deep appreciation for the visit of Archbishop Welby, acknowledging that he had always stood by him at critical times.
The President wished him God’s continued grace in his spiritual duty of leading the Anglican Communion worldwide.
Special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Femi Adesina who issued a statement in respect of the visit, recalled the good relationship that had built between the Archbishop and Buhari.
He said that such relationship began at the time the former British Prime Minister, David Cameron described Nigeria as a “fantastically corrupt” country ahead of an anti-corruption summit in London in 2016 and Archbishop Welby responded by saying: “But this particular President (Buhari) is actually not corrupt.”
Adesina said that the Archbishop later personally received the Nigerian President at Lambert Palace, London, and had also paid a goodwill visit to President Buhari in March this year, during his medical vacation. [myad]
