Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress(APC),Hon Yekeen POPOOLA has admonished Muslims to pray for the success of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidency as they celebrate this year’s Eidel Kabir.
Popoola , former chairman of Association of Local Government Of Nigeria ALGON in Oyo State gave this admonition in his Sallah Message to Muslims in Oyo State in particular and Nigeria as a whole .
He posited that with Tinubu in the helm of affairs of Nigeria, the country is in safe hands.
Despite the trust we all have in president Asiwaju’s ability, strength and courage to deliver the best to the citizens, Nigerians need not to go to sleep, thinking that he is equal to the task. The president and his team still needs our collective prayers and support to surmount all the challenges, Popoola remarked.
“What we should do as citizens is to keep praying for him to be able to address those lingering problems facing the country.
“As we are celebrating this year being the first ever Eid-el-kabir in Asiwaju’s presidency, I would like to advise Nigerians’ Muslims to use this period to pray for the success of this administration.
“This country has never witnessed this kind of hit the ground and start running approach which this government has adopted at federal level the way president Tinubu has done. Many giant steps which have propensities to put Nigeria on the developmental paths and greater heights have been taken and peradventure several untouchable toes must have been stepped upon and expectedly there is possibility of fighting back, so this is the reason why Nigerians must rise up in unity to continuously and fervently pray for the president because many of those things he has been doing is to breathe new life in to the lives of poor of the country.” the statement reads in part.
According to the APC stalwart, one of the times that Muslim faithful believe that Almighty Allah accept and answer prayers was this season, especially when the Pilgrims observing the climbing of Arafat, “so it is very essential to remind people to use the occasion to pray for the president for him to be able to continue with the same tempo and direction he started.”
He therefore charged all Muslims to peacefully co-exist with other religion faithful because love and tranquility are twins that work for each other to provide dividend of democracy for the masses while also pray for them to celebrate more of this sallah with sound health and happiness
