The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on Friday, paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at Abuja House, London.
Details of the Cleric’s visit was disclosed by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, where he said the archbishop and Buhari are friends. The presidential spokesman, went on to say that Welby said he was delighted to see the rapid recovery the president has made from his health challenges, adding that it was a testimony to the healing powers of God.
“The cleric pledged to continue praying for both President Buhari and Nigeria,” Adesina said.
“In his response, the Nigerian president thanked Archbishop Welby, whom he noted had always stood by him at critical times, and wished him God’s continued grace in his spiritual duty of leading the Anglican Communion worldwide.
“It will be recalled that when former British prime minister, David Cameron described Nigeria as a ‘fantastically corrupt’ country ahead of an anti-corruption summit in London in 2016, Archbishop Welby had retorted: ‘But this particular President (Buhari) is actually not corrupt’.”
The cleric paid a similar goodwill visit to Buhari during his medical vacation in March.
