The Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Mohammed Matawalle, has expressed strong confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration will achieve greater national progress if granted a second term in office. He made this statement during a special prayer session held at the Maradun Emirate Palace in Zamfara State, shortly after Friday Juma'at prayers.
Thousands of worshippers, including religious leaders and community members, gathered at the palace to pray for national stability, peace, and leadership success. The event was organized to seek divine guidance for the country’s future and to express support for the current administration.
Calls for Unity and Continued Prayers
According to a statement released by his Personal Assistant on Media, Ahmad Dan-Wudil, Matawalle emphasized that many Nigerians believe the current administration is poised to bring meaningful transformation to the nation. He urged citizens to remain steadfast in prayers and to guard against internal and external challenges facing Nigeria.
“We must continue to pray for the development of Nigeria and against any internal or external conspiracies directed at our country and our President. Nothing worthwhile comes easy,” Matawalle said.
Emir Advocates Sustained National Supplication
The Emir of Maradun, Alhaji Muhammad Garba Tambari, described President Tinubu as “a blessing to Nigeria” and called on citizens to continue praying for the country’s leadership. He stressed that sustained prayers are essential for peace, unity, and divine guidance for leaders at all levels.
The monarch also urged Nigerians to support government efforts in addressing national challenges. Clerics concluded the session with prayers for wisdom, protection, and effective governance across the country.
The prayer gathering at Maradun Palace highlights the spiritual backing for Tinubu’s administration as the 2027 elections approach. Matawalle, a former governor of Zamfara State, reiterated his commitment to supporting the president’s vision for a better Nigeria.
