Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni, has called on Nigerians to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, other leaders, and security operatives for divine guidance and improved security across the country.<\/p>\n

Governor Buni made the appeal in a statement by his media aide, Mamman Mohammed, on Friday when the leadership of the Sheikh Usman Dahiru Bauchi Foundation paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House.<\/p>\n

In the statement, Buni explained that prayers bring divine guidance for leaders to deliver good governance and improve the lives of the people, while negative prayers against leaders result in poor leadership and weak service delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt, therefore, becomes important for us to pray to almighty Allah to guide the President, Governors and all those in position of leadership to succeed with improved security and for peace to reign in Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor also urged the people to pray for the security forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere in Yobe State, we have seen the efficacy of prayers in the fight against insurgency, we should therefore continue praying for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not relent in praying for the president, all leaders, and the security forces for us to succeed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In his address, the chairman of the Foundation, Sheikh Ibrahim Dahiru Bauchi, said the group was in the state for the Maulud anniversary of Sheikh Ahmadu Tijjani.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have representatives from Morocco, Algeria, other countries and states across the country who are here to pray for the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate Yobe State for supporting this programme, we will pray for Yobe and other states, our leaders and peace in Nigeria,\u201d Sheikh Ibrahim assured.<\/p>\n
