Sallah: Speaker Abbas urges Muslims to pray for Tinubu’s success
The speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has urged Muslims to pray for the success of President Bola Tinubu.
Mr Abbas, who gave the advice in a sallah congratulatory message on Tuesday, urged them to pray for the country’s unity, peace and progress, calling for their spiritual and moral support for all elected and appointed leaders nationwide.
According to him, the country’s prosperity is a joint task, calling on all citizens to remain united despite their challenges.
“I congratulate Muslims and Nigerians by extension as we witness yet another sallah celebration, especially after the successful conduct of the 2023 general elections and the inauguration of a new president, Bola Tinubu, as well as the 10th National Assembly,” the statement said.
Mr Abbas added, “It is a time to thank Almighty God for His grace and mercy upon our nation. It is a time to reflect on the prospects and the brighter future ahead of the nation. It is also a time to pray for the success of our leaders as they move to tackle the challenges facing the country, counting on the prayers and support of the people.”
The speaker also asked Nigerians to “let us work together as a nation towards realising the ‘Renewed Hope’ that Nigerians have massively voted for. May Almighty God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.”
