Sheik Abdulwaheed Sulaiman, chief
imam of the state house mosque, says cases of insecurity in Nigeria are a test
from God.
Sulaiman, speaking on the rise in
cases of banditry, kidnappings, and insurgency in the country, said Nigerians
should repent and pray to avert the current security problem.
He said this during the daily
Tafsir (Quranic interpretations) which held at the State House Mosque, Abuja.
According to a statement by Garba
Shehu, special adviser to the President Muhammadu Buhari, the chief imam “gave
thanks to Almighty Allah for allowing the general election to take place
peacefully throughout the country”.
“He called for repentance and
prayers to avert the current security challenges confronting the nation. He
said the security incidents are a test from God.”
Buhari, who also spoke at the
event, assured Nigerians ahead of his second term administration that he knows
what to do as the leader of the government.
The president expressed his
gratitude and appreciated Nigerians for giving him the mandate to govern the
country for another four years.
“I know what to do, and I will
not fail Nigerians,” he said.
“The expectations of Nigerians
will be met. I will not let them down. I will continue to do my best.”
Buhari had given a similar
assurance to Nigerians in March 2019, when the leadership of the Arewa
Consultative Forum (ACF) paid him a congratulatory visit at the presidential
villa, Abuja.
Buhari promised to work harder in
addressing the challenges facing the country.
“This is my last lap, I will try
to work harder. I assure you, I will not let you down,” Buhari added.
