Nigerians have been advised to embrace peaceful coexistence and continue to support the government with prayers for national progress.
Islamic cleric, Sheikh Jamiu Sanusi, popularly known as Aminolohun, made the call during the second Special Asalat and Prayer for the Nation, organised by Lagos Zone One of the Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fathih Society of Nigeria (NASFAT), in Ikorodu, Lagos State. The programme was themed “If It Had Not Been For The Favour Of Allah Upon You And His Mercy.”
Sheikh Sanusi stressed that while citizens are right to demand accountability from leaders, they must also serve as good ambassadors of the country and contribute their quota to national development. He warned youths against the pursuit of quick wealth, urging them to seek knowledge and uphold integrity.

Chairman of NASFAT Zone One, Mr. Mustapha Alabi, appealed to traders who hoard goods for excessive profit to desist, warning that such actions worsen economic hardship.

Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Alhaji Shokunbi Kazeem, explained that 24 branches under Lagos Zone One of NASFAT came together for the prayer programme, noting that the initiative was to seek God’s mercy and intervention for Nigeria’s peace and progress.
