Pray For Tinubu, Other Leaders’ Success, Yobe Governor Urges Nigerians

The Yobe State governor Hon Mai Mala Buni has called on Nigerians to pray for the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all other leaders in the country.

Buni made the call during the closing ceremony of the 38th edition of the National Quranic Recitation Competition at the August 27th stadium Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.

The governor who charged people to take advantage of the glorious moment of the Quranic recitation to pray for peace, unity, stability equally stressed the need for more prayers for president Tinubu among other leaders in the country to succeed.

“Nigerians should irrespective of their religious, ethnic, cultural and political backgrounds pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all other leaders to succeed in piloting the affairs of the country.

“I wish to state without fear of contradiction that the success of the President is the success of Nigeria and Nigerians. It is a national success, if the President succeeds, it will translate into a better life for Nigerians, and his failure would equally reflect negatively on the lives of the citizenry.

“Therefore, we have a duty and indeed, a moral responsibility to put aside our differences and extend the necessary support, cooperation and prayers for His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his determination to improve the economy, security and other challenges facing the country for the betterment of Nigerians.

“It amounts to a huge contradiction for citizens of a country to pray against their leaders, and wish them failures, and yet, expect their lives to improve. There is an absolute need for attitudinal change for Nigeria to move forward,” Buni stressed.

The governor expressed happiness that people of Yobe State now enjoys and that “We have enjoyed uninterrupted peace which is evidently clear that normalcy has returned to the state with everyone pursuing his/her legitimate business unhindered.”
