Mrs. Buhari observed that “there is power in the spoken word, the power of life and death, Nigerians should therefore make positive declarations about their country.” She enjoined them to pray for the nation’s leaders, to enable them make the right decisions for the betterment of our country. “As prayers heal the land, so do bad declarations bring hardship” she said, imploring Nigerians to embrace peace so that stability and prosperity will prevail.
