“I urge all religious leaders to organise special prayers for our dear President Muhammadu Buhari for his speedy recovery.

“His ill health is our major issue of concern, especially the people of the North East, due to how he vigorously fought the Boko Haram insurgency to a standstill.

“His commitment, zeal and high sense of patriotism has brought peace to our region and today, we can sleep with all our eyes closed in the North east.

“I therefore enjoined both Muslims and Christians to hold special prayers for him to recover and continue with his good work," Bindow said.

The governor commended the people of Shelleng for voting him in the last election and their continue support to his administration.
