Keep Praying for Nigeria, People In Govt, Ajadi, Sannu Sheu Admonish Citizens
The Chairman of Bullion Records, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo and the Chief Tofseer of Ilorin Emirate Al- Adaby, Alfa Usman Sannu Sheu have called on Nigerians to continue to pray for the progress and the goodness of Nigeria.
The duo said that Nigerians also need to constantly pray for the people in government, saying that their actions and inactions will affect the citizens.
They made the admonition on Saturday, while speaking at the Ramadan Lecture (Season 2) organised by Bullion Records in Ibafo, Ogun State.
Ajadi, who was the governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Ogun State in the 2023 general elections, equally advised the leaders to focus more on the masses.
According to Ajadi, “I will call on Nigerians to keep praying for Nigeria because what we need in this country is prayer and we should also pray for our leaders.
“If we have the mindset of praying for our leaders, I am very sure God will touch their hearts and they will begin to do what the masses are clamouring for.
“So, I will urge the masses to keep praying purposely because of this season of Ramadan and I know that God will answer our prayers.
“The leaders have a lot of things to do for the masses because the masses are currently going through excruciating suffering,” Ajadi said.
He however, called on the Federal Government to create vocational centres across the 774 local government areas in the country for the youths to be engaged.
“On the January 1 this year I advised Nigerian leaders to provide vocational centres in the country so that the citizens, especially the youths, will be empowered.
“This will really help because those that are jobless will have something to do. If the government can do this in all the 774 local government areas in the country, then it would be easy to provide jobs for the youths.
“With these are in place, the youths will be engaged and they will do something to keep themselves busy instead of going around and become willing tools in the hands of evil doers.
“If the government fails to provide jobs for the youths, they should not forget that 2027 is around the corner and the eyes of everyone are open now.
“The purpose of government is to provide jobs for the people. The government must therefore empower the youths,” Ajadi said.
Also speaking, the Guest Speaker at the Lecture, the Chief Tofseer of Ilorin Emirate Al- Adaby, Alfa Usman Sannu Sheu said that the Nigerian leaders needed to do four things to succeed.
“One is that they should return to God, and invite God to guide their decisions. The second is that the subsidy that was removed from petroleum products should be used to assist the masses.
“Thirdly, they should continually think of the welfare of the people. Giving huge amount of money to governors to supply palliatives to the citizens is not the solution.
“They should increase the salaries of the civil servants. Once the people that are working with the government are well paid, the country will be better. Fourthly, they should always seek the prayers of Nigerians.
“We should all pray for the people in government. Nobody should curse our leaders. If we curse them, it will come back to us. We should just pray for them and it shall be well with our country,” Alfa Sheu said.
Speaking while delivering his lecture titled, “Submit Yourself To Who God Has Shown Mercy To”, Alfa Sheu said that it is God that put people in leadership positions and that the best thing is for everyone to accept God’s decision.
“Leadership is through God. It has nothing to do with age, place of birth or someone’s position in the family. God chooses the leaders and we don’t have choice but to accept whoever God has put in positions of leadership,” Alfa Sheu said.
Musicians such as Alhaji Kehinde Oriyomi, Alhaja Ashabi Modinat Barrytide, Femo Lancaster and Tope Indomie entertained the guests at the event.
Other special guests at the lecture included the Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State chapter of NNPP, Kehinde Olowu, South West Publicity Secretary of the NNPP, Hon Kilamuwaye Badmus, Hon. Modaowoni, Senator Teluwo among others.
