A faith-based organisation, Ansar-ud-deen Society of Nigeria, on Monday offered prayers for national security, peaceful co-existence and socio-economic rejuvenation of the country.
At the event held at the Ansar-ud-deen Mosque, Maitama, Abuja, the organisation also prayed for the success of President Bola Tinubu’s administration as well as other leaders at various levels of government in the country.
The Abuja branch Chief Imam of the society, Dr Musa Olaofe, underscored the need for citizens to work hard in the quest to promote peaceful co-existence and progress of the country.
The cleric explained that the idea behind the special prayer session for the country stemmed from a desire to contribute to the nation’s progress and development, while also seeking divine wisdom and guidance for its leaders.
“Today is a special day to pray for Nigeria. As believers, we are not perturbed over the current situation because we believe strongly in Almighty Allah and we know that in no distance time, Nigeria will overcome the predicaments.
“We believe strongly that with this prayer, Allah will guide our leaders aright and eliminate the pocket of challenges confronting us as a nation,’’ he said.
