The Chief Imam of Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos, Ridhwan Jamiu, has said that he has seen righteousness, fairness and justice in the way President Bola Tinubu governs the country.
Jamiu spoke while delivering his sermon during Friday’s Jumat prayer at the Lakki Central mosque where President Tinubu joined other Muslim faithful in worship.
“We have seen righteousness in you and fairness and justice in you. Please keep it up and sustain it,” the Chief Imam said.
Imam Jamiu urged Nigerians to be grateful to Allah during times of fortune and be patient during adversity.
He reminded the gathering of faithful that unwavering hope and faith are essential to believers, even in challenging circumstances.
Acknowledging the President’s presence, Imam Jamiu offered prayers for his success in leading Nigeria towards peace, security, and prosperity.
The Imam assured President Tinubu of the steadfast prayers and support of the Muslim Ummah as he governs the nation.
“We are proud of you. I remember that we encouraged people to vote for you during the campaigns. We thank God that you have not disappointed us.
“We know you are capable. We know you have the sagacity. We know you are competent.
“We believe and pray that you are not going to disappoint us. May Allah continue to be with you. Allah has entrusted Nigeria to you and will ask you for this trust.
“Remember accountability and responsibility to the people. Responsibility is to the people, and accountability is to Allah when you return to Him.
“Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, ‘The most beloved of all people to Allah is the righteous and just leader.’
“We have seen righteousness in you and fairness and justice in you. Please keep it up and sustain it.
“You bear one of the names of Prophet Muhammad, Ahmed, someone who does what is praiseworthy. This name has been reflected in your past actions, and we hope it will reflect in your actions now,” Imam Jamiu said.
The President is currently spending the holidays in Lagos. He arrived in the city from Abuja on December 18, after presenting the 2025 budget proposal to a joint session of the National Assembly.
