An Islamic leader, Mr Yusuf Oluwatoyin, has
prayed that Allah should give President
Mohammadu Buhari patriotic ministers who
would assist him to rebuild
Nigeria. Oluwatoyin, who is the President of
Muslim Students Society of Nigeria (MSSN),
University of Nigeria, Nsukka chapter, made
the prayer on Thursday in Nsukka during the
Ed el-Kabir prayer.
He said that success of Buhari’s
administration would depend on the quality of
ministers and advisers that would work with
him. “It is our prayer that for Allah to bless
him with patriotic ministers and advisers to
enable him to succeed in fighting corruption
as well as take the country to the next
level. “I implore all Muslim faithful in the
country to always remember our president in
prayers so that Allah will not allow evil
advisers to come close to him,’’ he said.
Oluwatoyin said that Ed el-Kabir called for
celebration as Allah had answered the prayers
of Muslim faithful all over the world on
pilgrimage at Mecca when they offered
special prayers at Mount Arafat.
“The celebration is in commemoration of the
strong faith of Ibrahim in attempting to
sacrifice his only son before Allah provided a
ram for him. “It also shows that for us to be
good Muslims, we must obey Allah’s
instructions and word of life as contained
Holy Koran.
“The ram, camel, sheep or cow to be
slaughtered today by Muslims who can afford
it, should be divided into three parts , one part
for his family, one part for friends and visitors
and one part for the less-privileged,” he
stated. He thanked Allah for making it
possible for the Chief Imam of the mosque,
Shiek Adam Idoko, who was recently
kidnapped to be released by his abductors.
“It is because of Allah’s intervention that our
Imam was released from the den of
kidnappers. “The Imam is not here today as he has not fully recovered from the shock and
psychological trauma he went through in the
hands of his abductors,“ Oluwatoyin said.
He urged Boko Haram members to have a
change of mind and stop the senseless
killings of innocent people and destruction of
property. “Whatever we do in this world we
must remember that one day we will stand
before Allah to give account of our
stewardship on earth,’’ he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls
that Idoko was kidnapped by unknown
persons on Sept. 10 at his home Ogruite in
Igboze-North Local Government Area of
Enugu state and was released on Sept. 17.
