Commissioner Urges #Umrah Pilgrims To Pray For Nigeria—-Pilgrims embarking on the Y2022 Umrah (Lesser Hajj) from Lagos State have been urged to pray fervently for the State, Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat as well as the Federal Government during the exercise in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Honourable Commissioner for Home Affairs, Prince Anofiu Olanrewaju Elegushi, made the appeal at a seminar organised by the Lagos State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board for the intending pilgrims at the Shamsi Adisa-Thomas (SAT) Mosque, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.
Elegushi, who spoke through the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Sewedo Oluseyi Whenu, reiterated his belief in the capacity of the pilgrims to pray to Allah against all the challenges bedeviling the nation such as insecurity, kidnapping, banditry, incessant killings and economic downturn, amongst others.
He expressed hope that all the prayers offered by the pilgrims would be answered and all the challenges facing the nation surmounted because the blessed month of Ramadan is significant and synonymous with Allah’s mercy, blessings and forgiveness
