Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has urged Nigerians to pray for Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu and other leaders in the country for peace to reign.
The governor made the call in a meeting with chief Imams of Jummat mosques across the state
A statement by Mamman Mohammed, Director, General Press and Media Affairs to the Governor, indicates that the first phase of the meeting organised for Muslim and Christian clerics in the state, was attended by over 800 chief Imams of the various Friday Jummat mosques.
Buni explained that Nigeria is in need of prayers against internal and external evil machinations for peace to reign, and for Nigeria to prosper.
Buni explained that there would be no meaningful development without peace “and that is why it is important for the people to come together to support the leaders to secure the country.”
Buni reminded the religious leaders of the sad and unfortunate experience of the state at the peak of the Boko Haram challenge where many people were killed, millions displaced and properties destroyed, noting the country cannot afford to be drawn back to such an experience.
