President Bola Tinubu says he will continue to work harder and pray for Nigeria’s peace and stability.
The president spoke at the National Mosque in Abuja on
Friday shortly after observing a special Juma’ah prayer to mark his 73rd
birthday.
Tinubu expressed gratitude to God for granting him another
year of life, adding that the safety and welfare of the citizens remained
uppermost in his mind and prayer list.
“I feel good. I feel happy. I thank the Almighty Allah, who
has protected us and continues to answer our prayers,” he said.
“We have prayed for our country. We prayed for the stability
and peace of the nation. We prayed that Almighty Allah will safeguard our
people and all citizens.”
Tinubu said his watchword remains “hard work and hard
prayers.”
He urged Nigerians to adopt this principle, saying, “the
word for all of us is hard work. You work harder, and you pray harder.”
“That’s the inspiration we got from today’s sermon. We thank
God almighty that at this stage, we are still in it and working,” he said.
Abdulkadir Solagberu, the Malami Ubandoma of Ilorin Emirate,
and other clerics led the special prayers for the nation and the president.
Solagberu assured Tinubu of continued prayers for his good
health, strength, and wisdom to steer the nation’s affairs to greater heights.
Muhammad Adam, the Imam of the National Mosque, thanked
Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, for their kindness to the poor and needy
during Ramadan.
Adam encouraged Muslims to continue praying for the
president, the nation, and the less privileged after Ramadan.
The prayer session was attended by prominent figures,
including Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin,
Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser (NSA), ministers, service chiefs, and
some members of the president’s family.
