Surgery: Pray for Pope Francis, Buhari urges Nigerians

PRESIDENT Buhari has called on Nigerians to pray for the Head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, as he heads in for a scheduled surgery of the colon.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, last night, the President also asked the global community to pray for the Pontiff.

The statement added: “He wishes him a quick recovery.”

The Vatican announced yesterday that Pope Francis had gone to a Rome hospital for scheduled surgery for a stenosis, or restriction of the large intestine.

However, the statement did not disclose when the surgery would be performed but promised to inform the world when the surgery is complete.
