Governor Ayodele Fayose and Muslims in Ekiti State on Friday held special prayers for the ailing President Muhammadu Buhari, calling on Allah to restore his health for the nation to witness peace.
They also held eight-day Fidau Prayers for first Military Administration of the state, the late Col. Inua Bawa, who died on May 26 in Jos after a brief illness.
Speaking at the special prayer held at the Central Mosque in Ado Ekiti at the weekend, the President General, League of Imams and Alfas in the South West, Edo and Delta, Alhaji Muhammad Jamiu Kewulere, said Buhari remained the symbol of the nation who needed the prayers of all Nigerians at this trying period to overcome his health challenges.
“We need to pray for Almighty Allah to restore the health of our President. He needs a lot of energy to lead Nigeria and this can only be provided by God. I believe that there is nothing God can’t do. He should make our president strong to be able to lead this nation to the promise land.”
Kewulere prayed for the family of the late Bawa, describing him as a selfless and courageous man, who served Ekiti with honesty and the fear of God.
Governor Ayodele Fayose was represented by his Special Adviser on Political Matters, Alhaji Dauda Ajise. Also in attendance were former Governors Niyi Adebayo and Segun Oni; Bawa’s former Chief Press Secretary, Mr Biodun Akin-Fasae and a former Deputy Governor, Sikiru Lawal.
