The chief Imam of Lagos Central Mosque, Ridhwan Jamiu, has commended President Bola Tinubu, stating that the president has not disappointed the people.

The Imam made his commendations while acknowledging Tinubu’s visit to the mosque to observe Jumat on Friday.

Tinubu had observed Jumat prayers at the central mosque in Lekki alongside some muslim faithfuls, being his first outing after the death of the stampede victims in Abuja, Oyo and Anambra states.

This was made known in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga, on Friday.

According to Onanuga, “President Bola Tinubu observed the Jumat prayer at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos on Friday afternoon alongside the Muslim faithful.

“It was the President’s first public outing since attending prayers at the Alausa Central Mosque last Friday. In his sermon, the Chief Imam of Lagos Central Mosque, Ridhwan Jamiu, urged people to be grateful to Allah during times of fortune and patient during adversity.

“He reminded the 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 the President of the steadfast prayers and support of the Muslim Ummah as he governs the nation.

The Imam said, “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.”
