President Muhammadu 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, on Sunday 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 on Sunday 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.
