Buhari: Pastor Adeboye’s visit influenced President Buhari’s return – Baraje

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Kawu Baraje, on Sunday, in Ilorin, claimed the visit of the General Overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, might have influenced the return of President Muhammadu Buhari to the country.

Recall that less than 48 hours before the return of President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigeria, the renowned cleric visited the President at the Abuja house in London.

He also said it shows that Buhari is not a religious bigot as been peddled in many quarters.

“I don’t see the visit of Pastor Adeboye as being special. If at all, I would say that it is only proving one point wrong, politically, that is the assumption that Buhari is a religious bigot.

“So, if somebody of Pastor Adeboye’s calibre can take six-hour flight and go to see President Buhari and, within 48 hours, Buhari came home, then it is speaking a different thing about what some people are saying that Buhari is a religious bigot.

“Maybe he has now finally succumbed to the advice of not only his doctors but to the spiritual advice of Pastor Adeboye. So, I think the development is a very good one,” he said.
