Sallah: Jandor urges prayers to end current economic hardship
The candidate of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic in the 2023 governorship poll, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran, otherwise called Jandor, has urged Muslims to intensify prayers to end the current economic hardship in the country.
Mr Adediran made the call in his congratulatory message issued by his spokesman, Gbenga Ogunleye, to Muslims on Saturday on the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
He urged Nigerians, especially Lagos residents, to remain steadfast in faith that the current hardship would be short-lived.
Congratulating the Muslim Ummah in the state on this year’s Eid-el-Kabir, Mr Adediran said that the essence of the celebration was about obedience and total submission to the will of the Almighty Allah.
He said, “The unwavering trust exhibited by Prophet Ibrahim by his willingness to sacrifice his son as a show of total respect to God is an assurance to all Lagos residents that whosoever put his trust in God will not be put to shame. The good people of Lagos State must remain steadfast in their faith and hope in God that the much anticipated breath of fresh air will soon become a reality. As we celebrate Eid-el-Kabir, I enjoin all the Lagos State Muslim Ummah to keep praying and trusting God that the current economic hardship will be short-lived.”
