Apparently satisfied with the progress recorded so far by the Governor Caleb Muftwang-led administration in Plateau State, the Muslim faithful from the 17 local government areas of the state organized a special prayer session for the governor on Wednesday for more strength and wisdom to forge ahead in his developmental stride.
Speaking at a joint prayer session held at the Jos Central Mosque, former member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Hon. Sani Abubakar, said the move was aimed at praying to God to provide the governor with the wisdom and ability to lead Plateau well.
According to him, the governor had hit the ground running through the various projects initiated by his administration, adding that the zeal and determination of the governor to impact the lives of the people deserve encouragement to further succeed.
”As Muslims, we believe in the power of the Qur’an, and we turn to it in times of need or difficulty. So we have gathered here to recite key verses of the Qur’an and to seek God’s face towards the success of the current administration in our dear state.
”The governor has hit the ground running, and the people are already reaping the dividends of democracy, so he needs our prayers to keep on with the good works.
”This session is also symbolic, to show the whole world that the Muslim Ummah in Plateau loves the governor and is in support of his administration,” he said.
On her part, Hajiya Jamila Shehu commended the governor for starting on a good note, adding that the prayer session is in solidarity with his inclusive style of governance.
”So, we are here to pray for a successful tenure for the governor and for God to give him the wherewithal to continue with the inclusive governance he has started.
”There are insinuations that the governor is against the Muslims, so this special gathering is to tell the world that the governor is for all.
”We all know who the governor is; he is a special breed who loves and cares for everybody devoid of tribal, religious, or political sentiments.
”He is moving with the women, the young and old; persons with disabilities (PWDs) are left out, and this is because he means well for the state,” he said.
Alhaji Aminu Abdullahi from Jos North said that the gathering was to also pray for a favourable judgement at the Supreme Court for the governor.
Abdullahi, however, appealed to the judges of the Apex Court to critically look into the merit of the appeal and deliver its judgement based on facts and not technicalities.
