Ridwan Jamiu, the chief imam of Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos, says President Bola Tinubu should remember accountability to God and his responsibility to Nigerians.
Bayo Onanuga, the presidential spokesperson, said in a
statement that the chief imam spoke on Friday during a sermon at a Jumah prayer
attended by Tinubu.
“We are proud of you. I remember that we encouraged people
to vote for you during the campaigns. We thank God that you have not
disappointed us,” Onanuga quoted the imam as saying.
“We know you are capable. We know you have the sagacity. We
know you are competent. We believe and pray that you are not going to
disappoint us. May Allah continue to be with you.
“Allah has entrusted Nigeria to you and will ask you for
this trust. Remember accountability and responsibility to the people.
Responsibility is to the people, and accountability is to Allah when you return
to Him.
“You bear one of the names of Prophet Muhammad, Ahmed,
someone who does what is praiseworthy. This name has been reflected in your
past actions, and we hope it will reflect in your actions now.”
The President arrived in Lagos on December 18 to spend the
festive season, shortly after presenting the 2025 budget to the national
assembly.
Tinubu cancelled all public engagements last Saturday,
including a boat regatta in Lagos, to honour victims of recent stampedes in
Oyo, Anambra, and the federal capital territory (FCT).
On December 23, Tinubu hosted his first presidential media
chat at his Ikoyi residence and has since been receiving private visitors as
part of the holiday festivities.
