“Various people have prayed with different intentions in their heart but these noble ones, children, whose hope is in God and have nothing in their heart have also come to pray.
“We decided that these ones that have a heart that is closed to God come and pray. We gather them from different states and today they are here to offer prayers.
“We believe that as they called on God something very important will happen to our prayers and he (Buhari) will recover and returned `hale and hearty,’’ he said.
