It’s unfortunate some Nigerians are praying for Buhari to die – Jerry Rawlings

Ghana’s former President, Jerry John Rawlings, has bemoaned Nigerians praying for President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.

He described the emergence of President Buhari as a divine intervention because of his anti-corruption credentials.


Rawlings made this known weekend during a courtesy call on him by a group of actors including legendary actor, Pete Edochie.

He said, “It is unfortunate that the cost of living in Nigeria appears to be suffocating the people.

“So while some are praying for his health, unfortunately, some are praying he wouldn’t come back.”

Recall that Buhari had been on a 10-day vacation in the UK .


The Presidency had announced that Buhari wrote to the senate to extend his vacation indefinitely due to ‘health issues’, an action that has drawn so much condemnation from Nigerians.

“Rather than blame Buhari, we should be blaming the extent and depth to which corruption had gripped Nigeria.

“But I guess you need a creative team that would know how to resolve the economic situation of the country without possibly undermining the cost of living of the people.

“People are getting away with massive corruption because they are not compelled to conform to traditional religious authority.


“We swear by the Bible and the Koran and lie but dare not with our local traditional deities.

“We are destroying the fabric of our society. This is not good enough. People are distorting historical truths all the time.

“When you find yourselves at the centre of human endeavours like I have, truth must be sacrosanct,” Rawlings added.

  1. Hmmmm...

    Talk about ones primary constituency.

    It would have been excellent if Redeemed Christian Church of God which happens to be the primary constituency of the Vice President actually dedicated some of their fasting days specifically for the success of their Brother and Member.

    It would have been excellent if the primary constituency of the Vice President actually dedicated some of their fasting days specifically for the current challenges facing the administration in which their Brother and Member is a key figure.

    It would have been excellent if the primary constituency of the Vice President actually dedicated some of their fasting days specifically for the sole aim of declaring and praying to fulfillment "PEACE BE STILL" to all the challenges facing the administration in which their Brother and Member is a key figure.

    It would have been excellent if the primary constituency of the Vice President can actually help the administration in which their Brother and Member is a key figure to identify and fish out the actual root causes of our challenges and those enemies of the progress of Nigeria.

    It would have been excellent if the primary constituency of the Vice President actually can help instill a whole sense of caution into the minds and hearts of everyone that is against the progress of our dear Nation Nigeria.

    It would have been excellent if only wishes were horses.

    Indeed Nigeria, "I HAVE A DREAM......."
