VP Shettima Returns To Abuja After Lesser Hajj In Saudi Arabia

Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after performing the lesser hajj (Umrah) at the Holy Mosque of Makkah (Masjid al-Haram) in Saudi Arabia.

According to a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, on Friday night, during his time at the holy site, the Vice President offered prayers for Nigeria’s peace and stability.

“Our prayer is for peace to prevail in our land. May Allah grant our land peace and social harmony,” VP Shettima prayed.

The Vice President’s supplications included prayers for Nigeria’s leadership, from the federal to local government levels.

Prior to his spiritual journey to Saudi Arabia, VP Shettima had earlier represented President Bola Tinubu at the commissioning of a $315 million oil production and storage facility owned by a Nigerian oil company, Oriental Energy Limited (OERL), in Dubai, UAE last week.
