Sultan of Sokoto Urges Nigerians to Pray for Leaders In Tough Times
The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, recently called on Nigerians to pray for their leaders, regardless of the challenges the country faces.
He made this appeal during an event held at the University of Ilorin, where he spoke about the importance of fostering a positive attitude toward leadership.
During his address, the Sultan highlighted the need for unity and support for leaders, emphasizing that rather than cursing or condemning those in power, citizens should turn to prayer.
He firmly believes that sincere prayers can lead to transformative changes in leaders, encouraging them to become better individuals dedicated to serving the nation.
“Even if a leader is bad, pray for him. Almighty Allah can inspire him to change for the better,” he stated.
The Sultan urged the public to adopt a mindset of encouragement and support, which he believes is crucial for the nation’s progress.
He remarked that a supportive attitude could help create a more conducive environment for effective governance, ultimately benefiting the country as a whole.
The event drew a diverse audience, including notable figures such as the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and the Secretary-General of KU8+, Professor Francisca Oladipo.
Fagbemi, who chaired the event, echoed the Sultan’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of encouraging leaders instead of engaging in constant criticism.
He pointed out that constructive dialogue and positive reinforcement could foster a better relationship between the public and those in positions of authority.
The discussions at the event reflect a broader sentiment among many Nigerians who seek to navigate the challenges posed by leadership and governance.
In a time when political discourse often leans toward negativity and frustration, the Sultan’s call for prayer and support offers a refreshing perspective.
It encourages citizens to take a more proactive role in shaping the leadership landscape, fostering a spirit of cooperation and understanding.
Overall, the Sultan’s appeal serves as a reminder of the power of prayer and positivity in transforming leadership and governance in Nigeria.
By shifting focus from criticism to support, he believes that citizens can contribute to creating a more harmonious and productive political environment.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has spoken on Nigeria’s economy, stating that the country lacks a good maintenance culture.
She said “The fact is that endowments alone do not add value. Budgetary allocations alone do not lead to new roads or good maintenance.”
“We lack a maintenance culture in the country. I have to say that. I’m Nigerian, but we need that. We need better ports and digital infrastructure, and lower trade costs. Execution is what matters, and successful execution requires focus. It requires prioritisation.”
Politician and former presidential candidate Peter Obi speaks on President Bola Tinubu’s comments regarding the rising hunger and worsening economic situation in Nigeria.
It can be noted that the President recently stated that hunger has always existed in Nigeria.
Peter Obi responded “I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.”
“While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today.”
Reports have been shared stating that the Nigerian Army has launched a new programme designed to train and improve the skills of engineers in tackling threats posed by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The seminar is being organised by the 41 Engineer Brigade of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.
It was stated “Improvised Explosive Devices have become one of the greatest security threats confronting the Nigerian Army in ongoing counter-insurgency operations. Their widespread use has complicated military operations and humanitarian activities in conflict-affected areas.”
