President Bola Tinubu joined Muslim faithful at the Lekki Central Mosque on Friday for the Jumat prayer, marking his second public appearance during the festive season in Lagos.
During his sermon, Chief Imam Ridhwan Jamiu commended the President for his leadership, expressing gratitude for Tinubu’s dedication to guiding Nigeria towards peace, security, and prosperity.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on
Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Friday.
“We are proud of you. We encouraged people to vote for you during the campaigns, and you have not disappointed us,” Imam Jamiu stated, emphasizing Tinubu’s sagacity, competence, and fairness.
The cleric prayed for divine guidance and urged the President to remain accountable to both the people and Allah, highlighting the Prophet Muhammad’s teachings on leadership and justice.
President Tinubu, spending the holiday season in Lagos, arrived on December 18 after presenting the 2025 budget to the National Assembly. Despite cancelling public engagements to honour victims of recent stampedes, he has continued to engage with private visitors and hosted the maiden Presidential Media Chat.
The President’s presence at the mosque underscores his commitment to fostering unity and religious inclusivity across the nation.
