“We need to pray hard for peace and stability in Nigeria that Allah gives us leaders who are competent, honest, and who would serve the interest of the people, especially as we are faced with incoming elections and insecurity in the country, we have no weapons as Muslims other than prayer.

“So, I called on all of you to continue to pray to Allah to give us good leaders and protect us against the machinations of our enemies.”
