The daughter of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has called on Nigerians to support and pray for her father as he prepares to take on the task of governing the country. Mrs Folashade Tinubu-Ojo made this appeal during the Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria’s 28th annual Ramadan Lecture and Special Prayer for the Nation, which was held in Abuja on Saturday.
“I called on Nigerians to pray and support our president-elect to make him succeed in making Nigeria the best for all. He cannot do it alone and Nigerians must support him, even after the elections,” Tinubu-Ojo said.
Speaking at the event, Tinubu-Ojo emphasized the importance of prayer in the success of any endeavor, especially in the challenging task of leadership. She urged Nigerians to pray for her father and his team, as they prepare to steer the country in the right direction.
Tinubu-Ojo also stressed the need for unity and cooperation among Nigerians, regardless of their ethnic or religious backgrounds. She called on all citizens to work together towards the common goal of building a better Nigeria, and to support the incoming administration in achieving this objective.
During the Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria’s 28th annual Ramadan Lecture and Special Prayer for the Nation, the Chairman of the ADSN Northern States Council of Missioners, Sheikh Muhydeen Ajani Bello, spoke on the theme of the lecture. He cautioned against frivolity and wastefulness, stressing the need for Nigerians to prioritize the needs of the less privileged in society.
“Those at the helm of affairs must help the needy and those also not at the leadership positions must also help the needy to engender societal and national development,” Bello said.
The renowned Islamic cleric noted that Prophet Muhammad had said that “We should help the needy even if the person asking for help was riding on a horse and you are walking.”
