The Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque, Ridhwan Jamiu, says President Bola Tinubu has not disappointed those who canvassed votes for him in the build-up to the 2023 elections.
Speaking on Friday, 27th December, Jamiu prayed for Tinubu’s success in leading Nigeria.
The Chief Imam made the submissions when President Tinubu observed the Jumat prayer at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos alongside the Muslim faithful.
He also assured the President of the steadfast prayers and support of the Muslim Ummah as he governs the nation.
Imam Jamiu offered prayers for the President’s success in leading Nigeria towards peace, security, and prosperity.
“We are proud of you. I remember that we encouraged people to vote for you during the campaigns. We thank God that you have not disappointed us.
“We know you are capable. We know you have the sagacity. We know you are competent.
“We believe and pray that you are not going to disappoint us. May Allah continue to be with you. Allah has entrusted Nigeria to you and will ask you for this trust.
“Remember accountability and responsibility to the people. Responsibility is to the people, and accountability is to Allah when you return to Him.
“Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘The most beloved of all people to Allah is the righteous and just leader.
“We have seen righteousness in you and fairness and justice in you. Please keep it up and sustain it.
“You bear one of the names of Prophet Muhammad, Ahmed, someone who does what is praiseworthy. This name has been reflected in your past actions, and we hope it will reflect in your actions now,” Imam Jamiu said.
In his sermon, the Imam urged people to be grateful to Allah during times of fortune and patient during adversity.
He reminded the faithful that unwavering hope and faith are essential to believers, even in challenging circumstances.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that it was the President’s first public outing since attending prayers at the Alausa Central Mosque last Friday.
