Ahead of his birthday on Saturday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will join fellow Muslims at the National Mosque in Abuja on Friday for a special prayer session for the nation.
According to Daily Trust, the event will also serve as an opportunity for the president to express gratitude to God for his guidance and support in steering the country’s affairs.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement, said Tinubu’s birthday coincides with the holy month of Ramadan and comes just two months before his administration’s second anniversary.
He said, “On this significant day, the President will dedicate himself to spiritual reflection and supplication for Nigeria’s continued peace, progress, and prosperity.
“By choosing a prayer session, President Tinubu underscores his commitment to Nigeria’s spiritual and moral well-being. He believes collective prayer is a powerful tool for national progress and unity.
“President Tinubu encourages Nigerians to join in prayer-whether at their places of worship or in their homes-reinforcing a shared national commitment to unity and hope.”
The president reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening democracy, fostering economic recovery, and promoting national cohesion, urging Nigerians to remain steadfast in their belief in the country’s potential as a beacon of hope in Africa.
